One of the important choices in your wig, sheitel, or topper selection is choosing the correct wig size. At Milano we know that one wig size doesn't fit all. That's why we offer a variety of cap sizes for you to choose from and an easy-to-follow guide on how to measure wig cap sizes. We have carefully created this wig size chart to assist you in finding the wig size that best fits you. Our wig size chart is intended to help you identify the correct cap size. The wig size chart includes a measurement for the circumference of your head as well as a measurement from your forehead to your nape. Based on those measurements, the wig size chart then indicates which size cap will best fit you and ranges from XXXS all the way to XL.

Step-by-step guide

How to Measure Your Head for a Wig

Understanding your wig measurements is essential because nothing enhances your style like a perfectly fitted wig. Here's how to measure for a wig to achieve that flawless fit.

  1. Measure Your Circumference

    1. Start at the Front: Place the tape measure at your front hairline.
    2. Circle Around: Gently wrap the tape around your head, passing just above the ear and back to the starting point at the front hairline to measure head circumference accurately.

  2. Measure from Ear to Ear

    1. Find the High Point: To pinpoint the top of your head, measure 7 inches back from the front hairline.
    2. Cross the Crown: Begin at the hairline above one ear, bring the tape across the top point, and down, just above the other ear.

  3. Measure Front to Back

    1. Start at the Hairline: Start your tape at the front hairline.
    2. Trace to the Nape: Extend the tape in a straight line over the crown to the back, ending at the nape of your neck.

  4. Reference the Wig Measurement Chart

    1. Consult the Chart: Align your measurements with our detailed wig cap size chart to determine the best fit.
