When it comes to choosing a wig size, our average size is the most popular choice among customers. Approximately 90% of our customers prefer the average cap size, which has a circumference of 22 inches. To explore our full range of wig sizes and learn how to measure yourself for the perfect fit, please take a look at our wig size guide.

CAP SIZE CIRCUMFERENCE
Extra Petite 20.25” - 20.75”
Petite 21” - 21.5”
Petite/Average 21.5” - 21.75”
Average 22” - 22.5”
Average/Large 22.5” - 23”
Large 23″ - 23.5”

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.

Silk Wigs

Silk wigs are wigs made from the durable and comfortable material silk. The silk material is hypoallergenic and breathable, allowing for versatile styling options and a natural-looking scalp. Nonetheless, silk wigs are relatively costly due to the expense of their materials and construction.

Fully hand-tied Wigs

100% hand-tied wigs are constructed entirely by hand, with each hair strand being individually knotted to a lace or mesh cap. This creates a natural appearance because the hair is free to move and the scalp is visible through the cap. Hand-tied wigs are more costly than machine-made wigs, but they are also more comfortable and durable.

Choose The Right 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.

Choose the right Length & Density

LENGTH

To ensure the best fit, it is recommended that you use a measuring tape to measure from the center part of your hair to the ends. It is advisable to order a wig that is 1-2 inches longer than your dream hair length. This will allow you to restyle the wig as needed, and also account for the natural 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 hair density is similar to the one above, where the scalp is visible when the hair is parted. This density is suitable for women aged 65 or above.
Medium 130% - This is a standard hair density that is currently trending in the wig market.
Medium to heavy 150% - This is the typical hair density that works best for women in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s.
