Wig Sizing
Welcome to the Wig Shop at Facets, featuring Monique wigs and some custom styles in sizes to fit fashion dolls and BJDs. Please check back periodically to see new styles. To browse the wigs, please click on the appropriate size needed for your doll. If you're not sure what size you need, refer to the instructions underneath and check the table right under that.
The size guide below is for the wigs I carry (mostly Monique brand) that have a stretchy cap. They are not head measurement - just the size that best fits a particular doll. If your doll is not listed, you can measure yourself and make a determination.
 | Wrap a tape measure around the circumference of your doll's head just behind the ears and across the forehead. Measurement should be in inches. Most wigs have a stretch type cap which provides flexibility in sizing. This stretch cap makes it easier to place the wig on the dolls head. EXAMPLE: If your measurement of the dolls head is 6.7 inches, a wig size of 6-7 is correct. |

1. Silicone Wig Caps - (shown at right) These stretchy clear silicone wig caps give an ideal non-slip surface. They will also help if a wig is not quite the right shape or a little too large for the head. They are sized to sit on the plate of the head, but can be trimmed if needed. They are available in different sizes according to head measurements, just like the wigs. 2. Velcro - Use a small square or circle of adhesive velcro on the doll's head. I do not recommend the prickly side which snags the hair. Some dolls come with the prickly side Velcro dots - I recommend peeling it off and using something else before they ruin your wigs. 3. Moleskin - Available in the foot care aisle of a drug store. This is adhesive and provides about the same amount of friction on the head as the softer side of Velcro. 4. Double sided tape - Holds fine, but needs to be changed frequently. |
