Finding your fit
A well-fitted cap is what makes a wig feel like your own. Take a minute to measure before you choose, and if you’re between sizes or unsure, send us your measurements and we’ll guide you.
How to measure your head
You’ll need a soft tape measure. Flatten your hair as much as you can, or measure over a wig cap.
- Circumference: Start at your front hairline, take the tape behind your ear, round the nape of your neck, behind the other ear and back to the start.
- Front to nape: From your front hairline, over the top of your head, to the nape of your neck.
- Ear to ear: From the top of one ear, over the top of your head, to the top of the other.
Circumference is the one that matters most. The other two help us fine-tune custom pieces.
Cap sizes
| Size | Circumference | Front to nape | Ear to ear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petite | 53–55 cm (20.5 - 21") | 34 cm (13.5") | 32 cm (12.5") |
| Medium | 56–57 cm (22–22.5") | 36 cm (14") | 33 cm (13") |
| Large | 58–60 cm (23–23.5") | 37 cm (14.5") | 34 cm (13.5") |
Medium fits most people. Every cap has adjustable straps for a secure fit. If you measure outside these sizes, a custom cap can be made to your measurements.
Length guide
Wig length is measured with the hair pulled straight, from the top of the cap to the ends. The guide below shows where each length typically falls on someone around 5'4" (163 cm).
| Length | Where it typically falls |
|---|---|
| 10" | Chin |
| 12" | Shoulders |
| 14" | Collarbone |
| 16" | Top of the chest |
| 18" | Bust |
| 20" | Just below the bust |
| 22" | Mid-back |
| 24" | Waist |
| 26" | Just below the waist |
| 28" | Hips |
| 30" | Below the hips |
Please treat this as an indication only. Where a length sits depends on your height, your build and the length of your neck. If you’re taller, it will fall a little higher; if you’re petite, a little lower. Wavy and curly textures also sit shorter than the same length worn straight.
