How do I know what size wig to order?

There are three measurements to take in order to determine your approximate wig size. Circumference, front-to-back and ear-to-ear. It’s important to take this measurements accurately as even the slightest misplacement can result in the wrong number.

CIRCUMFERENCE: Place the measuring tape at your hairline (where your wig will sit on your forehead) and wrap it around your head passing over the nape and ending in the same place you started on your forehead. 21” is (P) petite, 21.25” is (P/A) petite/average, 21.5” is (A) average, 22.25” is average/large and 23” is (L) large.

FRONT-TO-BACK: Start the measuring tape at the top of your hairline and draw it straight back over your crown ending at your nape. 13.25” is (P) petite, 13.75” is (P/A) petite/average, 14.25” is (A) average, 14.75” is average/large and 15.5” is (L) large.

EAR-TO-EAR: Place the measuring tape above one ear and draw it over your crown and down to the other ear. To help ensure you cross over your crown, measure 7” back from your hairline. That is the point you cross the tape over when measuring from ear to ear. 13” is (P) petite, 13.25” is (P/A) petite/average, 13.5” is (A) average, 13.75” is average/large and 14” is (L) large.

We realize it’s difficult to completely understand exactly how to determine your size so please feel welcome to call us to discuss your measurements.


What if I don’t like the color/style when it arrives?

It is nearly impossible to convey exact the exact color on a computer screen but we realize it may be your only choice if you don’t have a nearby wig shop to visit. And you never really know how a wig is going to look on YOU unless you actually put it on. We want you to be happy which is why we will happily accept your return/exchange then help you find something you love. See our return policy for complete details.


Why is there such a huge price difference between hairpieces?

The price of a wig or other hairpiece is determined by the type of hair fiber and by how it is constructed. A wig with basic construction will be less expensive than a wig with at least one feature. The features that result in a more realistic hairpiece are: lace front, monofilament and hand-tied cap. The saying “you get what you pay for” very much applies here.
