How to take measurements for wig |
|
Before you start: Pin hair as flat and as tight as possible before taking the measurements. This will eliminate bulges that distort head contours. |
|

|
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 inches). |
|
Measure from hairline directly above the ear across top of head to the hairline directly above the other ear. (Average measurement is 11 inches). |
