| Purchasing
a custom made or semi custom made wig from the internet is an wonderfully
affordable alternative to buying one from a salon. It takes careful
measurements and collecting hair samples from you, and careful communication
between you and Belk Wigs. A little effort will yield beautiful
results. There is nothing like wearing a gorgeous wig designed just
for you! Below are instructions on how to measure your head for
your custom or semi-custom made wig. This form can also be printed
for your convenience. Please contact Customer Service with any questions
you may have.

1.
Circumference: This measures the distance around your head.
Starting at the center of the front hairline, place the
tape flat against your head, going just above the ear towards
the back of the head, keeping the tape at the nape of your
neck and go around to the opposite side of your head, just
above the opposite ear and returning to the center of the
front hairline. Circumference = _______ inches

2.
Front to Nape: This measures the length of your head from
the front to the nape of your neck. To determine where the
nape of your neck is, tilt your head back and look up. Where
your neck bends and may even develop a skin fold, is where
your nape is. You want the bottom of the wig to sit right
above this area so that when you do tilt your head back
that far, your wig will not shift on your head. This area
is often right at the occipital bone, but be sure to take
the measurement with your neck bent down so that you are
looking at your shoes. Starting at the front hairline, measure
directly across the middle top of your head to the area
that you have determined is your nape. Front to Nape = ____
inches.

to temple length for tape tab placement. Place tape at your

the top of the head and go 1.5 inch behind the front hairline,
down to the opposite temple in front of the opposite ear.
Temple to Temple = _____ inches.

4.
Ear to Ear Across Top of Head: This measures your head for
the top of the wig base. Place 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. Ear to
Ear = _____ inches.

5.
Temple to Temple Around the Back of the Head: Place tape
against your head at the front edge of the hairline (sideburn
area) in front of the ear, go around the head above the
occipital bone to the opposite front edge of the hairline.
Temple to Temple = _____ inches.

Helpful Hints
for taking good measurements: 1.) Use a cloth measuring tape. 2.)
Measure holding the tape snug, but not tight against the head. 3.)
Keep tape flat against your head and do not allow kinks or twists
to develop in the tape. 4.) Take measurements at least 3 times to
be sure. Consistent measurements are an indication that you are
measuring correctly, and if you need additional help, please contact
Customer Service . |
