How to Measure Your Head for a Perfect Custom Wig Cap

When it comes to wigs, the right fit makes all the difference. At BrilliantWigs, we know that comfort and natural appearance depend on precise measurements. That’s why we follow the six-step measurement method when creating custom wig caps.

Here’s a simple guide to help you measure correctly:

Step 1. Circumference

Place the tape measure at the front hairline, go around above the ears, across the nape, and back to the front. This determines the overall wig size.

Step 2. Forehead to Nape

Measure from the middle of your front hairline, over the top of the head, to the nape of your neck. This ensures the wig cap is long enough front to back.

Step 3. Ear to Ear Across Front

Start at the hairline above one ear, measure across the forehead, and end at the other ear’s hairline. This helps shape the wig around the forehead.

Step 4. Ear to Ear Over Top

Measure from the top of one ear, over the crown, to the top of the other ear. This ensures the wig sits comfortably across the top of your head.

Step 5. Temple to Temple Round Back

Measure from one temple, around the back of the head, to the other temple. This ensures proper stability around the back of the wig.

Step 6. Nape of Neck

Measure the width of your nape from side to side. This step helps the wig fit naturally and securely at the neckline.

Standard Wig Cap Sizes

Once you’ve completed the six steps, compare your results to the standard size chart:

Small – Circumference: ~21.5 inches
Medium – Circumference: ~22.5 inches
Large – Circumference: ~23.5 inches

Choosing the right size ensures your wig won’t feel too tight or too loose, and it will look seamless in daily wear.
