1.Use a cloth measuring tape.
2. Measure holding the tape snug, but not tight against the head.
3. Keep tape flat against your head and do not allow kinks or twists to develop in the tape.
4. Braid, Wrap, or lay your hair how you plan to wear it under the wig before measuring your head for your wig.
5. Measure your head circumference with a tape measure around your hairline
Circumference defines the distance around your head. Starting at the center of the front hairline, place the tape flat against your head, going just above the ear towards the back of the head, keeping the tape at the nape of your neck and go around to the opposite side of your head, just above the opposite ear and returning to the center of the front hairline.
6. Measure Front to Nape
This measures the length of your head from the front to the nape of your neck. To determine where the nape of your neck is, tilt your head back and look up. Where your neck bends and may even develop a skin fold, is where your nape is. You want the bottom of the wig to sit right above this area so that when you do tilt your head back that far, your wig will not shift on your head. This area is often right at the occipital bone, but be sure to take the measurement with your neck bent down so that you are looking at your shoes. Starting at the front hairline, measure directly across the middle top of your head to the area that you have determined is your nape.
