How to Measure Your Head for a Cap

Accurate head measurement is simple. Follow these steps to get it right:

• Get Your Tools: Use a flexible tape measure. A string and ruler can also work.
• Position the Tape: Wrap it around your head above your ears and across your forehead, where your head is widest.
• Ensure a Snug Fit: The tape should be snug, not tight, and comfortable.
• Read the Measurement: Note where the tape meets. This is your head circumference.

If your head is more oval or round, the fit might vary. For more on head shapes and fit, see this resource.
