How to Take Measurements

 
Before you start: Pin hair as flat and as tight as possible before taking the measurements. This will eliminate bulges that distort head contours.
1. The Circumference of the Head:2. From Forehead to Nape of Neck:
Measure all around the head. Position tape measure so its edge follows the hair line around the head and nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 22 inches). Measure from hairline at center of forehead straight back over crown to center of hairline at nape of neck. (Average measurement is 13 1/2 inches).
3. Ear to Ear Across Front Hairline:4. From Ear to Ear Over Top of Head:
At front of ear, measure from hairline at base of sideburn, up across the hair line along forehead to same point in front of other ear. (Average measurement is 11 1/2
 
Measure from hairline directly above the ear across top of head to the hairline directly above the other ear. (Average measurement is 11
5. Point to Point: from temple to temple:6. Nape of neck:
From temple to temple across the back of head. (Average measurement is 14 inches).
 
Measure the width of hairline across the nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 4 inches).

 

 

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of taking accurate head measurements. You will not be able to return your wig due to sizing mistakes caused by poor measurements. Review your information carefully before submitting your order. 


The length of our wigs are measured from the crown to the hair's tip (from front to back). The length of layered hairstyles will be described based on the length of the hair before styling. Use measuring tape to measure from the crown of your head to where you want the hair to fall. For wavy, curly hair textures I sugesst ordering 2 to 4 inches longer, if the hair of the wig is longer than what you desire, you can have it expertly cut by your stylist.

 

This is the standard way of measuring wig length. The measurement is taken from the crown to the tips of the hair. This measurement is always given when the hair is straight.20 inches

The length of a wig is measured differently than extension hair, a wig is measured from the crown to the tips of the hair, whereas extensions are the same length all over the head, whether it's the crown or the nape. To have a wig the same length as your extension hair, please add 4 inches. For example, a 16 inch weave equates to a 20 inch wig.
