How to Measure Your Head for Online Hair System Orders

Perfect Fit Through Accurate Measurement

Getting the right fit is crucial for a natural-looking hair system. Since we're an online store, accurate self-measurement is essential. Here's my professional guide.

Essential Measurement Tools

You'll need:

• Soft measuring tape (the kind used in sewing)
• Mirror for checking alignment
• Helper if possible (makes measurements easier)
• Notepad and pen to record measurements
• Good lighting

Key Measurement Points

Here are the 8 essential measurements for online orders:

1. Front to Back: From hairline to crown
2. Ear to Ear (Front): Across forehead at hairline
3. Ear to Ear (Over Top): Over the top of your head
4. Temple to Temple: Around the back of your head
5. Circumference: Around the entire head where system will sit
6. Hairline Shape: Document the shape of your natural hairline
7. Crown Position: Measure from various points to locate crown
8. Template Tracing: Create a physical template if possible

Step-by-Step Measurement Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Head
- Have clean, dry hair
- If you have existing hair, style it flat
- Remove any hair products that might affect measurements

Step 2: Take Front to Back Measurement
1. Place tape at center of front hairline
2. Run tape over the top of your head to the crown
3. Record measurement in centimeters
4. Repeat 2-3 times for accuracy

Step 3: Take Ear to Ear Measurements
1. Front: Measure from where hair starts above one ear, across forehead, to other ear
2. Over Top: Measure from same points but over the top of your head
3. Record both measurements

Step 4: Take Circumference
1. Place tape where you want the system to sit
2. Measure all the way around your head
3. Keep tape level and snug but not tight

Creating a Template (Optional but Recommended)

Materials Needed:
- Plastic wrap or shower cap
- Packing tape
- Marker
- Scissors

Template Creation Steps:
1. Cover your head with plastic wrap
2. Secure with packing tape
3. Mark the hairline and perimeter
4. Carefully remove and flatten
5. Trace onto paper and mail or photograph

Common Measurement Mistakes

• Using Stiff Tape: Always use soft measuring tape
• Pulling Too Tight: Keep tape snug but not tight
• Poor Lighting: Can't see what you're measuring
• Hair in the Way: Make sure hair is flat
• Not Double-Checking: Always measure twice

Special Considerations

For Complete Baldness:
- Measure where you want the hairline to be
- Consider future hair loss patterns
- Take extra care with hairline shape

For Partial Hair Loss:
- Measure the balding area specifically
- Consider blending with existing hair
- Document natural hair patterns
