How to Choose the Right Wig Cap Size (With a Quick Measuring Guide)

🧵 How to Choose the Right Wig Cap Size (With a Quick Measuring Guide)

When it comes to wigs, fit is everything. A flawless install starts with a properly sized wig cap, too small, and it’s uncomfortable; too large, and it slips or bunches. At Symphony Tresses, we handcraft each unit with fit and comfort in mind, and knowing your correct wig size ensures you’ll love how your unit feels as much as how it looks.

Here’s how to measure your head at home and choose the perfect cap size for your next custom wig.

📏 Step 1: Grab Your Tools

All you need is a soft measuring tape (the kind used for sewing), a mirror, and your natural hair laid as flat as possible (braided down, molded, or slicked back).

🧠 Step 2: Take These 3 Key Measurements

1. Circumference
   Measure around your head, starting at your hairline, behind your ears, and around the nape of your neck.
   ✨ This is the most important measurement for wig size!

2. Front to Nape
   Measure from the center of your forehead (hairline) to the nape of your neck in a straight line.

3. Ear to Ear (Over the Top)
   Measure from the top of one ear, across the crown, to the top of the other ear.

4. Nape to Nape
   Measure from one end of the nape (behind your ear) to the other, following the curve of your hairline at the back of your neck.
   ✨ This helps ensure the wig lays flat at the nape without riding up.

Most of our customers fall into the medium range, but we always recommend measuring just to be sure!

🎯 Why This Matters

Choosing the right size:

• Prevents slipping or shifting during wear

• Helps closures and frontals lay flatter

• Makes your glueless wig feel secure (no glue needed!)

• Extends the life of your unit by avoiding unnecessary stress on seams and lace

💡 Pro Tip:

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up and adjusting with an elastic band or wig grip for comfort.
