The Importance of Custom Wig Sizing

When it comes to wigs, one size does not fit all. A properly fitted wig can make all the difference in comfort, appearance, and confidence. Here’s why custom wig sizing is essential:

  1. Comfort: A wig that fits well will stay securely in place without causing discomfort or slipping. Custom sizing ensures that the wig conforms to your head shape and size, providing all-day comfort.

  2. Natural Appearance: A custom-sized wig sits more naturally on your head, eliminating the gaps or bulges that can occur with ill-fitting wigs. This ensures a seamless blend with your hairline and a more realistic look.

  3. Security: Custom wigs are less likely to shift or move, providing you with the confidence to go about your day without worrying about your wig.

  4. Personalization: Custom sizing allows you to tailor the wig to your unique preferences, whether you need adjustments for medical reasons, a particular hairstyle, or a special event.

How to Measure Your Head for a Custom Wig

At MBM Raw Hair Extensions and Mane's by Micah, we offer custom wig sizing to ensure your wig fits perfectly. Here's how to measure your head for a custom wig:

  1. Circumference: Measure around your head, starting at the front hairline, going behind your ear, down to the nape of your neck, up behind the other ear, and back to the front hairline.

  2. Front to Nape: Measure from your front hairline straight back over the crown to the nape of your neck.

  3. Ear to Ear Across Forehead: Measure from one ear's hairline to the other, going over the forehead.

  4. Ear to Ear Over the Top: Measure from one ear's hairline, over the top of your head, to the other ear's hairline.

  5. Temple to Temple Around Back: Measure from one temple's hairline, around the back of your head, to the other temple.

  6. Nape of Neck: Measure the width of your neck at the nape.

Using these measurements, we can create a custom wig that fits your head perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and a natural look.
