To find the right fit for a skull cap, measuring your head accurately is essential. According to a guide on measuring your head, one effective method involves tracing your hairline.
Here’s how to measure your head following the path described in the reference:
Measuring Your Head from Forehead to Nape
This method focuses on a specific measurement path that runs from the front of your head, over the ear, and down to the back.
- Locate Your Starting Point: Begin by placing your measuring tape in the middle of your forehead right at your hairline.
- Guide Behind the Ear: From the forehead, guide the measuring tape behind one of your ears.
- Extend to the Nape: Continue bringing the tape down to the nape of your neck, ensuring it aligns with your hairline at the back.
- Note the Measurement: The measurement you get represents the distance along this specific path.
This particular measurement, running from the forehead over the ear down to the nape, can be crucial for skull caps or head coverings that need to fit snugly along the contour of your head rather than just the full circumference.
Remember to keep the tape snug but not too tight when measuring.
