Lace Front Wig Custom Head Measurements and Template Info

CUSTOM WIG HEAD MEASUREMENTS

CIRCUMFERENCE will measure the perimeter of your head. Starting at the center of the front hairline, place the measuring tape flat against your head and completely guide it around your head. Position the measuring tape just above the ear, down towards the nape area and back around to the center of the front hairline.

EAR TO EAR-ACROSS HAIRLINE- For this measurement, begin by placing the tape right above one ear and angle the tape so that it can be guided along your hairline until reaching the top of the other ear.

FRONT TO NAPE will measure the length of your head from the front to the nape of your neck. The nape is located where your neck bends if you were to tilt your head back and look up. This is also where the bottom of the wig should sit to prevent shifting when the head tilts.

Starting at the front hairline, measure across the top of your head to the nape area.

TEMPLE TO TEMPLE- Place the measuring tape at one temple area and guide it along the back of your head until reaching the other temple area. For this measurement, it is extremely important to wear your hair exactly how you plan on wearing it under the wig! This will decrease the chance of your wig not fitting properly.

EAR TO EAR (OVER THE TOP) measures your head for the top of the wig base.

Place the measuring tape against your head at the top edge of your ear and go directly across the top of your head to the top edge of the opposite ear.

NAPE- Place the measuring tape a the lowest point of your neck hairline and measure across the neck to the opposite side. This will measure the width of your neck.

***Style or braid your hair how you plan to wear it under the wig before taking head measurements. This will ensure the proper fit. ***

***Use soft measuring tape***

***Measure your head 4 times to obtain totally accurate numbers.***

Making a Template

Making a template is essential for creating custom hair pieces but may or may not be required for your full wig. You may opt to send a template along with your measurements to reinforce an exact fit. Please follow the guidelines:

1. Cover head with 3-4 layers of Shrink Wrap, Saran or Cling

wrap. (Please remember to blow dry the Shrink Wrap)

2. Use a permanent marker to trace your hairline. Write "F" to

indicate the front of the template.

3. Mark where you would like your part or cowlick to be.

4. Cover and protect your markings with transparent tape.

5. Trim perimeter line with a pair of scissors.
