Why is measuring so important?
The perfect fitting wig or topper will offer you security, confidence and look more natural. It will also reduce the risk of damaging your lace front and tangling—especially in the back of your wig.
Hair loss can be so traumatic on its own, getting the right fit for your wig or topper from the beginning of your alternative hair journey is critical. Follow the instructions below to learn how to measure your head using the same methodology as the factories that makes the wigs.

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: CIRCUMFERENCE
- Hold measuring tape at the front hair line
- Follow a straight line down the hairline circumference to base of hairline at nape
- Continue around head back up to front starting point
Step 2: EAR TO EAR
- Establish “top of head point” by measuring 7” back from the front hairline
- Hold measuring tape at HAIRLINE at the top of ear
- Measuring across “top of head point” continue down to HAIRLINE at top of opposite ear
Step 4: FRONT TO BACK
- Hold measuring tape at front hairline
- Follow a straight-line down center of head, ending at hairline at nape
- Write down each of your measurements and we will make a size recommendation.
If your three measurements are not exactly matched to any one of the standard sizes, choose the wig size that is indicated by the largest measurement.
