How to measure for a lace wig.
Follow the guide below if you prefer to be very specific about your wig measurements. However, simply indicating small, medium, large or ex large with your order is good enough. The average sizes indicated below refer to medium head sizes.
1. The Circumference of the Head: Measure all around the head. Position tape measure so its edge follows the hair line around the head and nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 22" inches).
2. From Forehead to Nape of Neck: Measure from hairline at centre of forehead straight back over crown to centre of hairline at nape of neck. (Average measurement is 13 1/2 inches).
3. From Ear to Ear over the Top of Head: Measure from hairline directly above the ear across top of head to the hairline directly above the other ear.
(Average measurement is 11" inches).
4. Ear to Ear across Front Hairline: 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).
5. Temple to Temple: From temple to temple across the back of head. (Average measurement is 14 inches).
6. Nape of Neck: Measure the width of hairline across the nape of the neck. (Average measurement is 6 inches).
