How to Measure for Custom Wig
So GorJess Fit Guide
How to measure for a custom wig.
Six quick measurements so your wig fits like it was made for you. You only need a soft tape measure and a mirror.
Do not pull the tape. Pulling stretches the tape and gives you a smaller number than your real size. Lay it flat and snug, never tight.
Where to measure
The six measurements
1
Head circumference
Start at the center of your front hairline. Lay the tape flat, go just above your ear, around the nape of your neck, then just above the other ear and back to where you started.
2
Front to nape of neck
Measure from your front hairline straight across the middle top of your head to your nape. To find your nape, tilt your head back and look up. It is where your neck bends. Take this one with your head bent down, looking at your shoes.
3
Ear to ear across the forehead
Place the tape at your hairline next to one ear. Measure across your forehead to the hairline next to the other ear.
4
Ear to ear over the top
Place the tape at your hairline next to one ear. Measure over the crown of your head to the hairline next to the other ear.
5
Temple to temple across the back
Place the tape at one temple on your hairline. Measure across the middle of the back of your head to the other temple.
6
Nape of neck
Place the tape at the lowest point of your hairline and measure across your neck to the opposite side.
