How to Measure Your Head for a Wig (Cap Size Guide)

Short answer: wrap a soft tape measure around your head along the hairline, above the ears and around the nape. Most women measure about 21.5 to 22.5 inches (55 to 57 cm), which is a standard medium cap; most wigs also have adjustable straps for a closer fit.

Three measurements

  1. Circumference: hairline, above the ears, round the nape.
  2. Front to nape: hairline to the nape over the top of the head.
  3. Ear to ear: across the top of the head.

Braids or cornrows under the wig add to the measurement, so measure the way you will wear it. Not sure? Book a fitting at our Nairobi CBD studio.
