How To Put A Wig On: Find The Right Size

Before learning how to put a wig on with short hair, ensure you’ve bought the right size that fits securely and comfortably.

Here are three simple steps to determine your right wig size using a fabric measuring tape before you learn how to put a wig on:

Measure Around Your Head:

• Start by tracing your hairline above your ear and continue around the back to the nape of your neck.
• Complete the circle by moving around to your other ear before returning to the front.

Measure Front To Back:

• Start from your natural hairline at the front, then glide your measurement tape over the crown of your head until it meets the back at the top of your neck.

Measure Ear To Ear:

• Start at one ear, following your hairline to its end.
• Extend the tape up and over the crown of your head, continuing until it reaches the front of your other ear.

Pro Tip: Check out our size chart to choose the size corresponding to your largest measurement. And the Velcro® tabs inside each wig adjust to 1″ larger or smaller.
