Long Wig Length Guide
How Are Wigs Measured?
Measure Straight Wig Length
Measure Wavy Wig Length
Measure Curly Wig Length
- Place the wig flat or on a mannequin head, smooth the hair downward, then measure from the top center of the wig to the ends. This helps you compare different wig inches more accurately before choosing your length.
- Straight wig length is measured from the crown of the wig down to the longest hair ends. For straight wigs, the listed length is usually close to the visible wearing length because the hair falls naturally without curl shrinkage.
- Wavy wig length is measured from the crown of the wig down to the longest hair ends. Because wavy hair has a natural wave pattern, it may appear shorter than straight hair with the same listed length.
- To measure correctly, place the wig flat or on a mannequin head, let the waves fall naturally, then measure straight down from the crown to the ends. This helps you compare wig inches more accurately before choosing your length.
- Curly wig length is measured from the crown of the wig to the longest hair ends when the hair is gently stretched. Because curly hair has a tighter curl pattern, it often appears shorter than straight or wavy hair with the same listed length.
- To measure correctly, place the wig on a mannequin head, choose a curl section, gently stretch it downward, and measure from the crown to the end. This gives a more accurate reference for comparing wig inches before choosing your length.
