Most wigs come in average sizes followed by a good section of Petite size wigs. Larger head sizes are harder to find as there is less demand for them. Child size wigs sometimes work for ultra petite head sizes. Tony of Beverly Wigs make a few great styles for Ultra Petite head sizes. Our shop does custom sizing for those who want styles that don’t come in their head size. We cut and sew them to fit. …that’s called sizing. NOTICE: LOOK for the sizes individual wigs come in by checking their listings under Head Sizes. Example: Incentive comes in Petite and Average while Renew is made in Average only. Under some manufacturers there is no listing which means, it is made in Average only.
