Finding the perfect human hair wig can be tricky, especially when the cap size doesn’t fit. I’ve personally struggled with this issue, and it’s frustrating to have a wig that doesn’t sit right. Over time, I learned valuable tips to solve this problem. Before buying a wig, you must know your head size and understand how to adjust the wig for a snug, comfortable fit. In this article, I’ll share practical tips to help small-head women choose the best wigs and avoid size issues.

Before Buying: How to Measure Wig Cap Size for Small Heads

Choosing the right human hair wig starts with knowing your correct wig cap size. For small-head women, measuring accurately to avoid discomfort and ensure a secure fit is crucial. Here's a wig size chart that outlines the different head sizes for women to help choose the right wig:

Head Size

Wig Size

Circumference (inches)

Extra Small

XS

20.5” – 21.5”

Small

S

21.5” – 22.5”

Medium

M

22.5” – 23.5”

Large

L

23.5” – 24.5”

Extra Large

XL

24.5” and above

Now, just follow the steps below to measure your head size:

  1. Circumference : Using a soft measuring tape, measure around your head, starting from the forehead, above your ears, and around the nape of your neck. This will give you the base circumference, essential in determining your wig size.

  2. Front-to-Back Measurement : Measure from your natural hairline at the front, over the crown, and down to the nape of your neck.

  3. Ear-to-Ear Measurement : Measure from one ear to the other across the top of your head.

After taking measurements, compare them to a wig size chart or wig size guide to find your ideal fit. Opt for a small wig cap to avoid extra room if your measurements fall within the small range.

Having an Unsuitable Wig: How to Make a Wig Cap Smalle

If you’ve purchased a wig and found that the cap size is too large for your small head, don’t worry—there are ways to make it fit better. Adjusting your wig cap can ensure a snug and secure fit, avoiding discomfort and potential slipping.

Tips to Make a Wig Cap Smaller

  1. Adjust the Straps : Most wigs have adjustable straps at the nape. Tighten them to reduce the overall size of the cap. This is often the most straightforward solution and can give you a better fit.

  2. Sewing the Cap : For a more permanent solution, you can sew the inside of the wig cap. Pinch the excess fabric at the sides or back of the wig and sew it to make the cap smaller.

  3. Add a Wig Grip Band : If the cap is only slightly loose, use a wig grip band to keep it in place. This is especially helpful for small heads and adds extra security without making permanent changes.

  4. Opt for a Customized Wig : Consider getting a customized cap size for the best fit. These wigs are tailored to your specific measurements, ensuring a flawless fit.

Choosing the right wig for a small head can be challenging, but with the right knowledge and adjustments, you can achieve a perfect fit. Whether you opt for flexible-fit cap wigs or customize your cap size, ensuring comfort and security is key. Remember to measure your head carefully and adjust as needed to enjoy a natural, comfortable wig experience.
