It often happens that people are not completely oriented in the size of shoes and clothes. This happens if they rarely or independently buy new things, which most often happens with men. But, nevertheless, it is necessary to navigate in size. Knowing the circumference of the chest, hips, and waist, you can choose a dress that sits on the figure. Sleeve length is the main indicator when buying a winter jacket. A correctly defined head size will help in choosing a headgear.
In the past, few people went outside without a headdress. Women were full of all kinds of hats and scarves, demonstrating their great taste. The main attribute of the male form has always been a hat, especially common among the military. From the headdress it was easy to determine what kind of troops a person belongs to and what rank he bears.
These days, things are completely different. We put a hat on if there is severe frost on the street, or a panama hat on a sunny day so as not to get a sunstroke. Hats are bought by eye or after trying on, without even suspecting that knowing your head size, picking it up will be much easier.
Things start different when a small child appears (or just plans to appear) in a house. Only then everyone begins to wonder about the right size of clothing. A hat for a child, especially the smallest, is the main attribute of everyday wear. It helps protect your head from the cold and the sun, ears from drafts.
In order to correctly choose the first hat for a child, you need to know the exact size of the head of the newborn. Since things are procured in the hospital in advance (namely, there you will dress the baby for the first time), it is difficult to guess the size . Therefore, you should focus on generally accepted indicators. Ideally, the size of the head of infants is 35-37 centimeters. In the first month of life, the baby’s head increases by 3 centimeters, in the second by another 2. From 3 to 6 months, the head volume increases on average by 1 centimeter per month. After six months of age, 0.5 centimeters per month. For the first year of life, the baby’s head increases by an average of 10-12 centimeters, so headgear will have to be changed quite often.
When choosing hats and panamas for children, one should be guided by the rule that they should not squeeze the child’s head and slide into the forehead and eyes. In order to purchase a baby hat, it is not necessary to bring it with you to the store or to the market. You can make a purchase yourself, knowing his head size.
The size of the head in children and adults is very simple. It is necessary to measure the circumference of the head with a flexible centimeter tape. From the lower point of the nape, wrap a centimeter around so that it goes above the ears and 2-2.5 centimeters above the eyebrows. Repeat the procedure to get a more accurate result.
It is very convenient when choosing the right size cap for the baby is the fact that the volume of the head is equal to the size of the headgear. That is, the classification of sizes occurs in digital equivalent equal to centimeters. But some manufacturers mark the size of the product based on the age or height of the child. This size markup is very convenient when choosing clothes for children under the age of one year. Once again, manipulating the head of the baby is not recommended, since it is possible to injure an unhealed fontanel.
When buying a winter or demi-season headdress for a child, you should stop your choice at a larger size, since under it you will wear a thinner hat made of cotton. The shape and style of the headdress also play an important role, because the children are all different in their physiological structure, and the head is no exception.
