What You'll Need

A flexible measuring tape

A mirror

Your natural head

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start at the front hairline: Place the measuring tape at the center of your forehead, right where your hairline naturally begins.
Wrap around the sides: Bring the tape around one side of your head, passing just above your ear.
Go around the back: Continue wrapping the tape around the back of your head at the widest point (the occipital bone).
Return to the starting point: Bring the tape around the other side of your head, just above the other ear, and back to the starting point at your forehead.
Record the measurement: Make sure the tape is snug but not tight. Write down the measurement in inches.
