Wig Sizing Guide
Wig Sizing Guide
Finding your perfect wig starts with two things: your cap size and your preferred wig length. Follow the steps below to measure at home with a soft tape measure.
Step 1 – How to Measure Your Cap Size
Use a soft measuring tape and take all 6 measurements below. Compare them to the size chart to find your best fit.
The 6 Measurements
- Circumference – Wrap the tape around your full head, just above the ears and across the forehead.
- Front to Nape – From your hairline at the front, over the top of your head, down to the nape of your neck.
- Ear to Ear Across Forehead – From the top of one ear, across your forehead, to the top of the other ear.
- Ear to Ear Over the Top of Head – From the top of one ear, over the crown of your head, to the top of the other ear.
- Temple to Temple Round Back – From one temple, around the back of your head, to the other temple.
- Nape of Neck – Across the nape of your neck from one side to the other.
Cap Size Chart (inches)
| Measurement | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circumference | 21.5" | 22.5" | 23.5" |
| Front to Nape | 13.5" | 14.5" | 15.5" |
| Ear to Ear Forehead | 11" | 11.5" | 12" |
| Ear to Ear Over Top | 12" | 12.5" | 13.5" |
| Temple to Temple Round Back | 14" | 14.5" | 15.5" |
| Nape of Neck | 5" | 5.5" | 6" |
Most people wear a Medium (22.5"). When in doubt between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.
Step 2 – Choose Your Wig Length
Wig length is measured from the root of the wig cap to the ends of the hair when straightened. Here's a quick guide to help you choose:
| Length | Where It Falls | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 16" | Collarbone | Chic, manageable everyday style |
| 18" | Just below collarbone | Classic, versatile look |
| 20" | Mid-chest | Flowing, glamorous style |
| 22" | Below chest | Bold, dramatic length |
| 24" | Waist | Maximum impact & luxury feel |
Note: Curly or wavy wigs may appear shorter than the stated length due to the curl pattern.
