How To Measure Your Head For
A Custom Hair Replacement Lace Wig
You will need a soft measure tape
for this task. Before you start we highly recommend that you style your
hair as it will be when you wear the wig. To achieve the best results
you should either:
Try to eliminate any bulges by
getting your hair as flat and tight as possible. It is very important
that your head measurements are accurate. Your wig may not fit
if you do not measure properly. Be sure to take your measurements
several times to be on the safe side. Measurements are recorded in whole
and half inches so please round your measurements up. For Example: 21
3/4 should be rounded up to 22 and 11 1/4 should be rounded up to 11
1/2. Always round the measurements up and not down. Once again,
it is very important that you take the measurements several times to
insure accuracy.

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.
