How to measure the Hair Length of a wig

Measuring the hair length of a wig is crucial to ensure a natural-looking hairstyle and to determine the right size and style for your needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to measure the hair length of a wig:

Methods:

There are two common methods to measure the hair length of a wig:

From the Crown: Measure from the crown of the wig (the top center point) to the ends of the hair.
From the Root: Measure from the root of the wig (where the hair meets the cap) to the ends of the hair.

How to Measure:

Method 1: From the Crown

Place the wig on a flat surface or a wig stand.
Identify the crown of the wig, which is usually marked by a small label or a slight indentation.
Hold a ruler or a measuring tape at the crown, with the zero point aligned with the crown.
Measure down the length of the hair to the ends, following the natural fall of the hair.
Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Method 2: From the Root

Place the wig on a flat surface or a wig stand.
Identify the root of the wig, where the hair meets the cap.
Hold a ruler or a measuring tape at the root, with the zero point aligned with the root.
Measure down the length of the hair to the ends, following the natural fall of the hair.
Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Tips:

When measuring, gently stretch the hair to its natural length, without pulling or tugging on the strands.
If the wig has layers, measure the longest layer to determine the overall hair length.
If the wig has a curly or wavy texture, measure the hair length when it’s in its natural, relaxed state.
Keep in mind that wig hair length can vary depending on the style, so it’s essential to measure the hair length specifically for the wig you’re interested in.
