Circumference
This is the most crucial measurement. It determines the overall size of your wig. Ensure the tape is evenly wrapped around your head, not too tight or too loose.
Forehead to Nape
This measurement ensures your wig fits comfortably from the front to the back of your head. An accurate forehead to nape measurement prevents the wig from riding up or sliding back.
Ear to Ear Across Front
This measurement is key for the front part of your wig, ensuring it fits well across your forehead and sits naturally.
Ear to Ear Over Top
This ensures the wig fits comfortably over the top of your head, a crucial area for a natural look.
Temple to Temple Round Back
This measurement ensures the wig fits well around the back of your head, sitting snugly at the temples.
Nape of Neck
An accurate nape measurement ensures the wig fits well at the back of your neck, preventing it from lifting or feeling uncomfortable.
