How to Measure Cap Size for Wig: A Comprehensive Guide to Find the Perfect Fit

When purchasing a wig, finding the right cap size is crucial for a comfortable and natural-looking fit. Measuring your head correctly determines the size of the cap that will best accommodate your head's circumference and shape. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you determine your perfect wig cap size.

Measuring Head Circumference

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around the circumference of your head.

Start at the middle of your forehead, just above the eyebrows.

Bring the tape around the back of your head, just below the occipital bone at the nape of your neck.

Meet the tape again at the middle of your forehead.

Measuring Ear-to-Ear Front Distance

Measure from the tragus (small bump in front of the ear canal) of one ear.

Measure to the tragus of the opposite ear.

Measuring Ear-to-Ear Back Distance

Measure from the top of the earlobe of one ear.

Measure to the top of the opposite earlobe.

Measuring Nape to Crown Distance

Measure from the nape of your neck (where your head and neck meet).

Measure to the crown of your head (the highest point of your skull).

Selecting the Right Cap Size

Once you have taken these measurements, compare them to the wig cap size chart provided by the wig manufacturer. Cap sizes typically range from petite to extra-large. Choose the size that corresponds most closely to your measurements. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
