How to Measure Wig Length: A Step-by-Step Guide to Ensuring the Perfect Fit

In the realm of wigs, length plays a pivotal role in determining the overall look and feel of the wig on the wearer. Whether you're aiming for a chic bob hairstyles or luxurious long locks, knowing how to accurately measure wig length is crucial. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure you select the perfect length for your desired look.

Why Measuring Wig Length is Important

Before diving into the how-to, it's essential to understand the significance of wig length:

• Personalized Look: The length of your wig can drastically change your appearance. Whether you're going for a professional, playful, or elegant look, the length will set the tone.
• Comfort: A wig that's too long might be cumbersome for some, especially in warmer climates or during physical activities. 
• Cost: Typically, longer wigs are pricier due to the amount of hair used. Knowing the exact length you want can help you budget accordingly.

Starting Point: Where to Measure From

Normally the length refers to the original length of the hair, but not the length after the shape. Take a few strand of the hair on the first track from the top and pull it straightly to measure the length. This method ensures you get the full length of the hair, including any layers or styles.

Tools You'll Need to Measure Your Wig Length

• A wig 
• A soft measuring tape
• A flat surface or Wig Heads

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Wig Length

• Lay the Wig Flat: Place your wig on a flat surface or put it on the wig head. Ensure the hair is fully extended and free of tangles.
• Find the Longest Strand: Especially in wigs with layers, it's crucial to identify the longest strand for an accurate measurement.
• Measure: Using your soft measuring tape, measure start from the  roots to the ends. Ensure the tape is straight and not slanted to avoid discrepancies.
• Record the Measurement: Once you've measured, jot down the length. This will be especially helpful if you're comparing multiple wigs or are shopping online.

Tips for Accurate Measurement

• Straighten Curly or Wavy Wigs: If the wig isn't straight, consider gently straightening it for a more accurate measurement. Remember, curly wigs and wavy wigs will appear shorter due to the curls but are longer when straightened.
• Consider Wig Style: Some wigs have layers, while others might have bangs. Always measure the longest strand for the most accurate length.
• Regularly Measure: If you're a frequent wig wearer, it's a good idea to measure your wigs now and then, especially after maintenance or styling, as hair can break or become uneven over time.

If you're between sizes, consider going for the longer option. You can always trim a wig that's slightly too long, but you can't add length to one that's too short.
