What's the Four Finger Rule for Wig Fitting?

The phrase is an informal placement guide, not a universal sizing rule.

Some stylists use finger widths to estimate hairline or forehead placement, but fingers and natural hairlines vary. Accurate head measurements and alignment with your own features are more reliable.

Place the wig where it looks natural without covering brows or exposing the cap, then check from the front and side.

  • Treat it as a visual guide
  • Use actual measurements for size
  • Check placement before trimming lace
