16 Inch Wig

How Long is a 16 Inch Wig?

A 16-inch wig is roughly shoulder length. Specifically, if you have straight or slightly wavy hair, a 16-inch wig will usually hit just below the shoulders and above the chest. This length is moderate, not too long or too short, and is perfect for a natural, non-exaggerated hairstyle. If you have curly hair, a 16-inch wig may look shorter after curling because the curls have room to bend. It may look like a short bob, but overall, it is a good length that can show layering without too much maintenance, suitable for most everyday occasions. If you are not sure which length to choose, 16 inches is a very safe and easy-to-manage option!

A 16-inch wig is one of the medium wig lengths, giving you more length to work with but a little less volume. This wig length lends itself perfectly to a wide range of styles, from little curls and pin-straight looks to loose waves and deep waves. 16 inch wig length hangs right at chest level.

How to Measure a 16 Inch Wig

Wigs are sized starting at the root and ending with the hair at the crown. Wavy and curly hairstyles are measured in the same way; however, to acquire an exact measurement, the hair must be pulled straight. You can measure according to the method shown in the picture.
