CAP SIZE
Wig Cap Size Chart
Measure your head circumference before ordering. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
| CAP SIZE | HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE | CENTIMETERS | BEST FOR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petite | 20.5 - 21.5 in | 52 - 54.5 cm | Smaller head size |
| Average MOST COMMON | 21.5 - 22.5 in | 54.5 - 57 cm | Most adult wearers |
| Large | 22.5 - 23.5 in | 57 - 59.5 cm | Fuller head size or extra room |
Please note: Cap construction can vary by style. Always review the individual product details before ordering. Adjustable straps can refine the fit, but they do not replace choosing the correct cap range.
HOW TO MEASURE
Measure Your Head in 4 Easy Steps
Use a soft measuring tape and keep it flat against your head without pulling it too tight.
2
Start at the Hairline
Place the tape at the center of your front hairline, just above your eyebrows.
3
Circle Your Head
Guide the tape above your ears, around the nape, and back to the starting point.
4
Check the Fit
Keep the tape snug, not tight. Measure twice and use the larger result if they differ.
WIG LENGTH
Choose the Length You Love
Wig length is measured from the crown to the longest end of the hair.
Texture Changes the Look
The same labeled length can look different depending on texture, height, and body proportions.
- Straight: shows its full measured length.
- Body wave: usually appears slightly shorter.
- Curly: can appear several inches shorter because of curl shrinkage.
| LENGTH | CATEGORY | APPROXIMATE PLACEMENT |
|---|---|---|
| 8 - 12 in | Short | Chin to shoulder |
| 14 - 18 in | Medium | Shoulder to chest |
| 20 - 24 in | Long | Chest to mid-back |
| 26 - 30 in | Extra Long | Mid-back to lower back |
For wavy or curly wigs: gently stretch one section and measure from the crown to the longest end to confirm the true listed length.
