Find Your Perfect Wig Size
As we all know, a perfect snug-fit wig is a key to making you feel comfortable and confident when wearing a wig. Nowadays, online shopping has become the main way to shopping products. There is no way to try the wig on and feel if the wig is suitable for the head. We can only see that the description page writes the wig is average size.
Most of us may have some worries. Like what is the average size mean? Will this wig fit me? How can I know if this cap size is right for me? Should I get a normal cap wig, large cap or small cap. Choosing the correct wig size can be the difference of feeling and looking comfortable. While it's a safe bet that you'll fit into an Average size (90% of people do), we want to make sure you get the best wig or hairpiece to fit you.
Choose The Correct Wig Size
Wigs are a great way to instantly change your hair's length, style, and color, without doing anything to your natural hair. However, you need to know how to measure your head for a wig because the size affects how comfortable and how good the wig on you
After reading this guide, you won’t have to ever second guess if your wig is the correct size.
Wig Size Chart
Wig sizes are quite fixed, so you can expect a wig from any company to fit once you know what size wig you need. But here is a quick breakdown of the size categories and measurements they are made of to identify which you are under.
Choose The Correct Wig Size
Before measuring your head size, there is one important thing you need to do. Prepare your natural hair to get a flat surface.
Prepare Your Natural Hair Before Measure Your Head Size

How you prepare your natural hair decides if the measured data is accurate. The key is to pull your hair tight and as flat as possible, making sure it doesn’t get in between your head and the tape
Most of us may choose two methods to flatten our hair. One is putting on a wig cap, and another is twisting or braiding hair to get a flat surface.
For Long Hair: Pull your hair away from your face and style it upwards in a low ponytail, or braid it tightly from front to back.
For Short Hair: Shorter hair is easier to deal with. A wig cap is the easiest way to achieve a flat surface with short hair. You can apply some gel to your natural hair and brush your hair back. Then put on the wig cap and press it as tight as possible. That can make the measurement date more accurate.
