When we choose a wig from the beauty supply or online wig store, most of the people only focus on the hair texture and color, it shows very perfectly, but very few people don’t look at the wig cap size, so when we receive the hair wig, it will not suit our head. One of our customer Celine, before buying our human hair wigs, she bought all of the hair wigs are very bigger, the hair wig is very easy to drop, but when she places her order at Bejoy Hair Wigs, we measure her head, get a series of size, then we suggest our small size for her, the lace wig cap is very suitable.

I believe most of you will have the problems, when we get the perfect hair wig we thought, but it will not suit our head. It is important for us to get a perfect fit for our wigs So how to measure your head for a wig? Let’s talk about it.


Prepare your hair before measuring

Someone doesn’t find the correct way to measure their head, so the result is wrong, if use the wrong size, then the wig cap still not suitable. Now please remember if you have long hair, you need braid your hair as the following the picture. If you have short hair, use hair product to shape your hair, then use a wig cap to put the hair down. Once your hair is the same style when you wear a lace wig, then measure your head.


To ensure the size that is suited for you, measure your head size with the following tips. And remember you must use the soft ruler, it is more convenient and accurate.


From head to your back, divide your hair into two parts, you can measure your hair middle part.

Starting from your hairline, then end of your back neck. Ear to ear measurement, you need to create a horizontal direction to connect your ear to ear.

Our medium size wig cap:

Head circumference: 22.25 inch

Front to back: 15 inch

Side to side across Forehead: 12.5 inch

Side to side over top: 12.75 inch

Temple to temple across back: 14.5 inch

Nape of neck: 5.5 inch

Remember this size only for a suggestion, every company have their method of measuring the head.

Starting from the circumference, we can measure along the circumference of the hairline.

We need to use the soft tape measure, from your front head hairline to your neck back, mark the size.

Side to side across the forehead, it is above your temple.

From your side ear to side ear over your head top.

Forehead to the nape: This measure marks the length of the forehead to the nape of the neck. To determine the position of the nape, lift your head slightly and place your fingers in the bend. Your neck is bent and the skin is wrinkled and is the back of your neck. Place the tape in the center of the hairline, place the tape on top of the head, and place it on the back of the neck.

The best suiting

Your wig cap should suit with your natural hairline over your eyebrows. Research shows, 95% of people wear an average or medium size wig cap, and it has the adjustable knot, combs, and elastic band. They all help you to adjust the whole size to get the best-fit feeling.

Every company has their own wig cap size, when we order lace wig, we should learn about it, and also please remember your head size to ensure you can choose a perfect lace wig next time.
