How to Measure Your Head for the Perfect Wig Fit | Tayus Store Guide

A well-fitting wig is essential for comfort, security, and a natural look. But how do you ensure your wig fits perfectly? At Tayus Store, we’re here to guide you through the process of measuring your head for the perfect wig fit. Whether you’re shopping for your first wig or adding to your collection, this guide will help you find the right size every time.


1. Why Proper Wig Fit Matters

A wig that fits well not only looks natural but also feels comfortable throughout the day. An ill-fitting wig can cause discomfort, slip out of place, or even damage your natural hair.

Benefits of a Perfect Fit:

  • Comfort: No tightness or looseness.
  • Security: Stays in place during activities.
  • Natural Look: Blends seamlessly with your hairline.

2. Tools You’ll Need

Before you start, gather these simple tools:

  • A soft measuring tape (the kind used for sewing).
  • A mirror to ensure accuracy.
  • A pen and paper to jot down measurements.

3. Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Head

Follow these steps to measure your head accurately:

Step 1: Measure Your Head Circumference

  • Place the measuring tape at the center of your forehead, just above your eyebrows.
  • Wrap it around your head, going above your ears and around the back of your head.
  • Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight.
  • Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2: Measure Front to Back

  • Place the measuring tape at the center of your hairline (forehead).
  • Run it over the top of your head to the nape of your neck.
  • Record the measurement.

Step 3: Measure Ear to Ear

  • Place the measuring tape at the top of one ear.
  • Run it across the top of your head to the top of the other ear.
  • Record the measurement.

Step 4: Measure Temple to Temple

  • Place the measuring tape at one temple (side of your forehead).
  • Run it across the back of your head to the other temple.
  • Record the measurement.

4. Understanding Wig Sizes

Wigs typically come in three sizes: petite, average, and large. Use your measurements to determine your size:

  • Petite: Fits head circumferences of 20.5–21.5 inches.
  • Average: Fits head circumferences of 21.5–22.5 inches.
  • Large: Fits head circumferences of 22.5–23.5 inches.

Pro Tip: If your measurements fall between sizes, opt for the larger size and use wig grips or adjustable straps for a snug fit.


5. Tips for a Perfect Fit

  • Use a Wig Cap: A wig cap can help secure your natural hair and provide a smoother fit.
  • Adjust the Straps: Most wigs come with adjustable straps for a customized fit.
  • Consult the Experts: If you’re unsure, visit Tayus Store for a professional fitting.
