Making a cap selection can seem daunting, especially if you are purchasing online. The best way to make a selection and how we would select a cap size for you in the studio would be by taking a few measurements.

Caps for toppers are listed in Inches, we have converted those standard measurements to cm to make it a little easier if you are measuring you head yourself at home. The bold sizes are the most popular, however just because they are popular doesn't make them right for everyone. The degree of loss, areas of concern as well as head size all play a part.

To measure your head you will need a measuring tape and if you want to get really technical a piece of paper and some scissors.

Firstly you will want to measure from about 1cm off your front hairline if you are going to wear your Topper slightly back, which in most cases looks the most natural or if you are planning on wearing it forward measure from your front hairline, take the tape back to where you would like the topper to cover, for example over your crown if this is a problem area.

The second measurement you will need to take is across your head keeping on mind your problem areas. Once you have your two measurements you can draw it on a piece of paper, cut it out and use it as a template to see exactly where the cap will sit for you.

When measuring always keep in mind where you would like the clips to attach as this will also be a deciding factor when selecting the right cap for you. If you are still not quite sure you can always book a consultation with us here.

Measuring For A Wig

Ensuring a perfect fit for your wig is crucial for comfort and a natural look. Learn how to measure your head accurately in this comprehensive guide. Whether you're a wig newbie or a seasoned pro, these steps will help you achieve a flawless fit every time. 

Below is our sizing chart, we recommend measuring twice prior to ordering just to be sure you order the correct size.

Front To Nape	34cm	35cm	36cm	37cm

Before you begin, you will need a soft measuring tape, a mirror, a pen, and paper. Having these tools handy will streamline the measuring process. For the most accurate measurements, ensure your hair is flat against your scalp. You can either pin your hair down or wear a wig cap to keep it in place.

Measure Your Head Circumference

Start by measuring your head's circumference. Position the measuring tape around your hairline, starting at the center of your forehead, and go around your head, ensuring the tape is snug but not too tight. 

 

 

Measure Front to Nape

Next, measure from the center of your hairline, where your forehead meets your hair, all the way to the nape of your neck. This measurement helps determine the length of the wig you'll need.

Measure Ear to Ear

Measure from one ear, over the top of your head, to the opposite ear. Ensure the tape is straight and snug but not overly tight. Note down this measurement.
