HOW TO CORRECTLY MEASURE YOUR HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
HOW TO CORRECTLY MEASURE YOUR HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
An accurate head measurement is crucial when choosing headwear. With our guide, you'll do it flawlessly!
Step by Step Instructions
Prepare a soft measuring tape or a regular measuring tape. If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a string or ribbon and then measure its length with a ruler.
Wrap the measuring tape around your head, placing it about 1 cm above your ears and eyebrows. This is the widest part of your head, which determines the correct circumference.
Make sure the measuring tape fits comfortably – it shouldn't be too tight or too loose. It should snugly touch your head without squeezing it.
Read the measurement in centimeters. Write down the result – this is your head circumference.
💡 Helpful Tips
For the most accurate measurement:
- Take the measurement twice to ensure it's correct
- If the result falls between two sizes, choose the larger one
- For long or thick hair, you can add 0.5-1 cm to your measurement to ensure a comfortable fit
Common Measuring Mistakes
Measuring from the end of the tape instead of from zero – always start the measurement from the 0 value on the tape
Providing measurements in inches instead of centimeters – all our products are adapted to measurements in centimeters
Applying the tape too loosely or too tightly – the tape should touch your head but not squeeze it
Measuring in the wrong place – the tape should go above the eyebrows and ears, at the widest part of the head
