Before purchasing a PureHand Wig, taking a few simple head measurements can make all the difference in comfort and security. In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll show you exactly how to measure your head step by step—and how to use those numbers to choose the right wig size.

If you're new to wearing wigs, one of the most important steps you should take before purchasing a PureHand Wig is measuring your head.

It’s quick, simple, and only requires a measuring tape—but it can completely change your wig-wearing experience. A wig that fits correctly will feel more comfortable, look more natural, and stay secure throughout the day.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what you need, how to measure your head properly, and how to choose the right PureHand Wig size based on your measurements.

Why Measuring Your Head Matters (Especially for PureHand Wigs)

Measuring your head before ordering a wig is essential for two key reasons:

Security: A well-fitting wig stays in place and feels stable all day.
Comfort: The right size reduces pressure, tightness, and discomfort—especially during long wear.

This step is even more important for PureHand Wigs, because many styles in this collection do not include adjusters. That means the wig must fit correctly in order to stay secure.

What You Need

To measure your head, you only need:

A soft measuring tape (like the type used for sewing)

That’s it!

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Head for a PureHand Wig

You’ll take three simple measurements:

1) Head Circumference

This is the most important measurement.

Wrap the measuring tape around your head, following the area where your natural hairline begins. Measure all the way around, keeping the tape snug but not tight.

📌 Tip: Make sure the tape stays level around your head (not angled upward or downward).

Write this number down.

2) Forehead to Nape

Next, measure from the center of your forehead to the nape of your neck (where your hairline naturally ends in the back).

Write this measurement down.

3) Ear to Ear

Finally, measure from the top of one ear, across the top of your head, to the top of the other ear.

This helps determine how the wig cap will sit across the crown.

Write this number down too.

How to Choose the Right Wig Size

Once you have all three measurements:

Go to the company you’re purchasing from
Find their wig sizing chart
Match your measurements to the correct size

Different brands may have slightly different sizing standards, so always refer to the specific chart provided by the brand.

Raregen Size Recommendation

Raregen typically recommends Medium for most people.

However, if you have total hair loss (little to no natural hair underneath the wig), you may need a Small or even Extra Small for a more secure fit.

This matters because without natural hair, there’s less grip between the wig cap and the scalp—so sizing becomes even more important.

Why Fit Is Critical for PureHand Wigs

For example, with the PureHand Collection, many wigs do not have internal adjusters. That means the wig needs to fit perfectly to stay secure.

If your wig is too large, it may slip or fall off easily.
If it’s too small, it may feel tight and uncomfortable.

A properly measured size ensures the wig sits comfortably and stays in place with confidence.

Beginner Tips Before You Order

Always measure your head before purchasing your first wig
Don’t guess your size based on hat size
If you’re between sizes, consider your hair situation:
- If you have more hair underneath, you may need slightly more room
- If you have total hair loss, a smaller size often provides better security

Conclusion

Measuring your head is one of the simplest—but most important—steps before purchasing a PureHand Wig. With just a measuring tape and a few minutes, you can choose the right size with confidence and enjoy a wig that feels secure, comfortable, and natural.

We hope this guide helps you feel prepared and supported as you begin your wig journey.
