Head Measuring for wigs.jpg

Step 1: Measure the Circumference

  • Place the measuring tape at the front hairline.

  • Run it just above your ear, around the nape of your neck, up behind your other ear.

  • Bring it back to the starting point at your front hairline.

  • This is your head circumference.

Step 2: Compare Your Measurement

Use your measurement to determine your cap size:

  • Petite: 20.5” – 21”

  • Average: 21.5” – 22.5” (fits about 90% of women)

  • Large: 23” – 23.5”

Important to Know

  • Each brand is a little different: Jon Renau, Belle Tress, Raquel Welch, and others may all feel slightly different even if labeled the same size.

  • Construction matters: Lace front, hand-tied, and open-cap wigs can feel looser or tighter depending on the style.

  • Adjustable straps: Most wigs have built-in adjusters for a more custom fit, but measuring first is the best way to avoid returns.

  • When in doubt: If you’re between sizes, sizing up and adjusting down usually gives the most comfortable fit.

Sizing by brand

Belle Tress Cap Sizing

​

Unlike other wig brands that offer Petite, Average, and Large separately, Belle Tress uses a universal cap size designed to fit most head shapes.

  • Fits: 19" – 23" head circumference

  • This range comfortably covers Petite through Large in one flexible size.

  • Belle Tress caps are made with stretchy, adjustable straps so you can tighten or loosen as needed for a secure fit.

💡 This makes Belle Tress a great option if you’re between sizes, or if you’re not sure exactly where you fall on the measurement chart.

Jon Renau Cap Sizing

​

Jon Renau follows the traditional cap size system, offering multiple sizes for the most accurate fit:

  • Petite: 20.5" – 21" circumference

  • Average: 21.5" – 22.5" circumference (fits about 90% of women)

  • Large: 23" – 23.5" circumference
