The Perfect Wig Fit

Step-by-Step Guide

Ordering a custom wig from EMK Hair? The secret to that flawless, natural look lies in one thing: accurate measurements. The right fit means your wig feels secure, looks seamless, and requires little to no extra bands or clips.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to measure your head for your perfect custom unit.

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair and Tools

Before you start measuring:

• Flatten your hair – cornrow it down, slick it back, or use a wig cap.

• Use a tailor’s tape (not a ruler or stiff tape).

• Stay consistent – take each measurement at least twice and use the average for accuracy.

Step 2: Take the 6 Key Measurements

These 6 measurements ensure your wig is tailored perfectly to your head shape:

1. Circumference
   Wrap the tape around your head, following your hairline, over your ears, and around the nape. This gives the overall size of your head.

2. Front to Nape
   Measure from the center of your forehead (hairline), over the crown, down to the nape at the back.

3. Ear-to-Ear Across Forehead
   Place the tape at your temple near one ear, measure across your forehead, and stop at the opposite temple.

4. Ear-to-Ear Over the Top
   From the hairline above one ear, run the tape across the crown, ending at the same spot above the other ear.

5. Temple-to-Temple Around Back
   Measure from one temple, around the back of your head, to the other temple. This ensures the wig hugs the sides securely.

6. Nape to Nape
   Place the tape across the bottom hairline at the nape of your neck, from one side to the other.

Step 3: Why These Measurements Matter

• Circumference → Prevents a wig from being too tight or too loose.

• Front-to-Nape → Ensures proper length and balance from front to back.

• Ear-to-Ear & Temple-to-Temple → Helps the wig sit naturally across the top and sides.

• Nape-to-Nape → Gives a snug, gap-free fit at the back.

Together, these six points guarantee that your wig will fit like it was made just for you — because it is.
