To measure your head circumference, place a flexible measuring tape around the thickest part of your head, just above your eyebrows, and ensure the tape is pulled snug but not too tight.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Get a flexible measuring tape: Cloth or plastic measuring tapes are ideal.
- Position the tape correctly: Place the end of the tape on your forehead, just above your eyebrows.
- Wrap the tape around your head: Ensure the tape goes around the thickest part of your head, typically at the back where the head curves out the most. Keep the tape level all the way around.
- Read the measurement: Check where the end of the tape meets the rest of the tape. This measurement, in inches or centimeters, is your head circumference.
Tips for Accurate Measurement:
- Mirror: Use a mirror to ensure the tape is level and correctly positioned.
- Snug, not tight: Pull the tape snug enough to stay in place but not so tight that it indents the skin.
- Record the measurement: Write down the measurement immediately to avoid forgetting it.
For example, the reference mentions a head circumference of approximately 23 inches.
