HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD FOR A WIG >

To figure out your perfect size, you will have to measure your head. To do this, you can use a tailor's tape measure that can be found at most drug or grocery stores. To start measuring, place the end of the tape measure at your front hairline. Then, move the tape around your head, over your left ear, and across the nape of your neck or back hairline. Next, move the tape around the right side, over your ear, and bring it up to the front again. This measurement will give you the circumference of your head.
However, if you plan to purchase a custom-made item, you will need to take four additional measurements.

How To Choose
The Right Hair Color

Finding the perfect wig color can be a daunting task, but there are several key factors to keep in mind when making your decision:

Your skin tone plays a critical role in determining the right wig color for you. If you have a warm skin tone, opt for warm hues such as honey blondes, auburns, and golden browns. For those with cooler skin tones, choose cooler colors such as ash blondes, cool browns, and black.

Your natural hair color is also an essential consideration when selecting a wig color. If you're looking to replace your natural hair, it's best to choose a color that closely matches your natural hair color, as this will help the wig blend seamlessly with your skin tone.

Personal style is another crucial factor. Are you going for a natural look or something more daring and dramatic? If you prefer a natural look, go for a color that's similar to your natural hair color. On the other hand, if you're feeling bold, try a color that contrasts with your skin tone.

The occasion you're wearing the wig for can also influence your color choice. If you're attending a formal event, a more subtle color may be appropriate, while a fun event or costume may call for a brighter, bolder color.

How To Choose
The Right Length & Density

LENGTH

To measure your own hair, use a soft measuring tape and measure from the top of your head to the ends of your hair. It's best to choose a wig that’s 1–2 inches longer than your desired length. This gives you room to restyle and ensures the wig looks natural as it follows the curve of your head.

DENSITY

Hair density refers to the thickness of the hair. Choosing the right density depends on personal preference. Some people prefer a bit more volume, while others like a more natural look, and some people want a glamorous, full-volume style like that of red-carpet stars.

The table below illustrates different hair densities and their outcomes:

HAIR DENSITY	HAIR OUTCOME
Light to medium	100%–120% This density offers a natural, lightweight look that mimics real hair volume. It’s breathable and comfortable for daily wear, perfect for subtle styles. Great for those who prefer a realistic and effortless appearance.
Medium	130% This is a standard hair density that is currently trending in the wig market. Medium density gives a fuller yet still natural look. It provides enough volume for versatile styling like curls, waves, or updos without being too heavy.
Medium to heavy	150% This density delivers a thicker, more voluminous appearance. It’s perfect for bold styles and glamorous looks but feels slightly heavier. Great for those who love fuller hair with lots of bounce.
