How to Properly Measure your Head for a Wig?

Now that everything is rolling in and salons are starting to open up. We’re sure there are many of you who just can’t wait to see their stylists.  But, as you can assume with having to keep social distancing in mind, salons will probably be taking less clients in at a time and if you aren’t one of the lucky ones who gets the appointment in first – well, you’ll be stuck having to figure out how to work your own install until you are able to book that appointment.
So, if you’re one of the lucky ones who get to go back into the world but not so lucky enough to book an appointment with your stylist you should definitely continue reading.
This blog will help you in measuring your own scalp to get the perfect hair system that will fit your needs.
All you’ll need is a measuring tape & maybe a washable marker to help you mark your measurements.
Now if you do no have a measuring tape and you have just a straight ruler we have the string method that will work for you as well.
Steps to Measuring Own Scalp
1. Mark Your Hairline
This will be your starting point for the Front to Back  measurement. You will need to determine where your hairline starts and mark your scalp with an erasable marker. If you don’t have an idea where your hairline should start, we use the 4 finger method.
4 Finger Method
 
Place 4 fingers on your forehead. Let your pinky rest just above the eyebrows. Where ever your index finger lands is where the hairline should start. Mark your hairline.

2. Measure Front to Back

Once you have determined your hairline, grab your measuring tape. We prefer to go by inches.
You are going to place your measuring tape at the marked hairline, hold it there and pull the tape towards the back to mark where you feel your hair system should end. Once you get to that position mark your measuring tape.
 

There you have it. Your front to back measurement.

Now if you do not have a measuring tape but you have a straight ruler, you are going to follow the top method using a string. Once you get the length of the string,  you will then need to place it against your straight ruler. Write down the measurement.

3. Measure Left to right
You will use the exact same method that you used to determine the front to back, for your left and right. However, you will need to place your measuring tape on the widest part.
This will help you determine the largest size you need in a hair system, and then cut to size where you need it trimmed to fit.

To the many clients who have asked the difference between these two adhesives this blog is for you! We had even contacted our Walker Reps to make sure our points had validity. Since starting to stock up on Extreme Hold Glue we have been asked what the difference is between these two liquid adhesives – Extreme Hold and Ultra Hold Glue . First let’s get to know a little bit about the two: Extreme Hold is a silicone based adhesive. In fact, during the conversations with our Walker Representative they mentioned that silicone based glues were extremely popular before the Acrylic glues came into fame.   Which, of course, is the Ultra Hold. The Ultra Hold glue is an acrylic adhesive and is newer in the market. It holds just as long as the Extreme hold. What is the DIFFERENCE? Well the real difference between the tw
