Measurement Guide

(Custom Lace Wigs)

 

Stock wigs come in sizes small, medium and large. Custom wigs are made specifically to your measurements. For the most accurate measurements we suggest you wrap or pin your hair down and apply a wig stocking cap to eliminate bulges and mis-measurements.

  • Circumference:
    Measure around the perimeter of the head. Position your tape measure so its edge follows the hair line around the head and nape of the neck.
  • Front to nape:
    Measure from hairline at center of forehead straight back over crown to center of hairline at nape of neck.
  • Ear to ear across forehead:
    Measure from hairline at base of sideburn across the hairline along forehead to the same point in front of other ear.
  • Ear to ear over top:
    Measure from hairline above the ear across top of head to the hairline above the other ear.
  • Temple to temple around back:
    From temple to temple across the back of head.
  • Nape of neck:
    Measure the width of hairline across the nape of the neck.
