How to Measure Your Head
To ensure the perfect fit, measure your head circumference using a soft measuring tape:
- Place the tape measure horizontally around your head, approximately 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) above your eyebrows
- Keep the tape snug but not tight – you should be able to fit one finger underneath
- Measure to the nearest 0.5 cm or 0.25 inch
- Compare your measurement to the size chart above
Note: Actual fit may vary depending on personal comfort preference, hairstyle volume, and individual head shape. The adjustable strap provides flexibility for a customized fit.
Care & Maintenance
Preserve Your Gothic Statement:
- Hand Wash Recommended – Use lukewarm water with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that could fade the embroidered design
- Air Dry Only – Place on a clean, flat surface or cap form to dry naturally; never use direct heat
- Protect the Embroidery – Turn inside-out when washing to shield the crying face design
