How to Measure Your Head Circumference
- Use a flexible measuring tape or a string.
- Wrap it around your head about 1/8 inch above your ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- If using a string, mark where the end meets and measure the length with a ruler.
- Make sure the tape or string is snug but not too tight.
