Measuring for a Wig!
Measure to get the correct Head Size

Flatten your hair.
Use a cloth tape measure.
Match and note your measurements on the size Chart below.
  SPECIAL NOTE: When measuring, DO NOT pull the tape measure tight.
 
THREE STEPS IN MEASURING FOR A WIG!

1.   Around the head.
Starting at your natural hairline in the front, follow your hairline to just
ABOVE the ear. Go around the back to around the bend in your neck,
to just ABOVE the other ear. Then around the front where you started.
Note the measurement in inches.

2.   Front to back.
Measure from your natural hairline in the front over the top of the head to the bend of your neck.
Note the measurement in inches.  

3.   Ear to ear.
Begin to measure in front of one ear where your hairline ends, lay the tape measure up and over the crown of your head to the same part of your other ear. Note the measurement in inches.

Apply the 3 measurements above to the chart below and select the wig size.
 

There are generally 5 sizes of wigs that are available.
