Reading 3Wig density

A hair density chart tells thin, medium and thick hair apart. People choosing a wig, a cut or a treatment use it to find their level. The nine pictures show the scalp seen from above at three densities, a ponytail measured in inches, and four heads in wigs from 130 to 200 percent density. Type a different subject or twist, such as men's hair, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

  • finding your hair density before buying a wig
  • measuring a ponytail to estimate density
  • a reference for a treatment or cut
  • a buying guide for a wig shop

Frequently asked questions

Can I print them?
Yes. They are drawn charts with labels, not photographs, so they print as reference sheets.
How does the ponytail measure work?
Three ponytails are tied at the nape with a tape around each, labelled Under 2 in, 2 to 4 in and Over 4 in. Measure your own ponytail and find the matching band.
What is the difference between the styles?
Line chart draws the hair as fine parallel black strokes, more for each level. Soft tint fills the hair in flat dark brown on pale pink scalp. Pencil drawing is graphite with the hair drawn strand by strand.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type a direction, such as curly hair, and the page asks for that subject in the same three styles. It is a request, not a guaranteed result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
