Petite

Ashley’s Wigs has many petite wigs available in all styles, lengths and colors! If you are looking at petite wigs online, then you are looking for a wig cap with a circumference of 21 inches. Retailers often just refer to a petite wig as 21 inches, and leave out the ‘wig cap’ and ‘circumference.’ It can sometimes get confusing when dealing with all of the measurements of wigs. Petite wigs are not the most common wigs, and all styles don’t come in this size. Most brands offer wigs in this size and there are plenty of options. Ashley’s Wigs has the widest selection and the lowest prices!

The most common size of wig is average, which is 22 inches. However, many brands have slightly different opinions on how each size is defined. Based on what various brands define petite wigs as, Ashley’s Wigs uses 21 inches. You may want to try an average wig if it is closer to 22 inches. It’s important to know how to measure the circumference of your head. This way you’ll find the best fit. There are other measurements involved in wigs, but it’s the circumference that is the most important.

Here are some pieces of advice that you should consider before you measure your head to determine if you should be looking for an affordable petite wig:

1. Keep your hair as flat as possible.

2. When measuring, use the hairlines for the ends of your measurements. This will help make sure you only measure the part of your head that the petite wig cap will cover.

3. Try to keep excess hair out of the way. If the length of your hair is past your hairline, then it will help to use a clip to keep the extra hair out of the way. The extra hair won’t give you an accurate measurement.

4. Use a measuring tape that is comfortable and don't press down too hard to avoid scraping your head. You need your head to be free of cuts if you are to try a petite wig.

This is the correct way to measure the circumference of your head:

A: Place the tape measure against the nape of your neck at the hairline.

B: Bring the tape measure behind and above the ear.

C: Bring the tape measure together at the front of your forehead. If you have a measurement of 21 inches, or close, then you should be looking for a petite wig!
