22 inches - give or take. I had to use a metal tape rule which is not very flexible because it's meant for carpenter's and such. I hid in the utility while measuring my head with it so no one would say WTF. Just goes to show how incredibly bored I am today. I'm almost ashamed of myself for resorting to such trivial nonsense. There's a great big world out there and I'm hiding in a laundry room measuring my head. :roll:

20 inches give or take is mine. But I imagine if I didn't have ADHD and was put on high doses of Adderall for 9 years, that'd do me in. I don't know what my head was when I was a baby.

21.5 inches. I guess it's on the lower side of the average for adult woman. I knew it however, when I was younger (12-15) I had a big head and wore adult hats but now my head is pretty normal because it hasn't changed :lol:

I'm probably not one of yours since I havent' been told that my brain was different when they scanned it to know whether I had true migraines or a tumor. I don't care I like you. :lol:

I have a big hat size. I just know that what people normally wears, doesn't fit me. I don't know my size.

I also have a small size because if I use headphones on the smallest they go, they are still too big for me.

My head size is normal and I'm diagnosed as Aspergers. I think large head circumference is more common in those with lower-functioning and severe autism. I've never heard of this being common in Aspies.

I have a big head. Hats never fit me right. If you see pictures of me when I was a baby I think my head looks freakishly huge.

I've got only something like 22 inches circumference, but also a round, wide face.

I have never measured my head before. I did just now 24 inches. It seems to appear larger than average (although I don't have any reference). It appears even larger than when I was younger because of my receding forehead due to male-pattern baldness. I also cut my hair short so that accents it.

Cockney, you're awesome

My head is about 24 inches. But, I'm not a small girl so I don't think it looks that strange or anything.

yes, I think so. Hats designed for females always seem too small for me. I've never actually measured the circumference though.

I have a pin head. Everyone in the world about me seems to have such vast heads.

Huge head here. When I graduated high school, I had to get a cap (mortarboard) that was size 8.25, which corresponds to a 25.9" circumference.

25.5" I felt sure I would win.

I'm glad I don't need glasses. They never fit.
And I remember having to wear a hard hat for a video. They only had one, it was painfully tight, and looked like it was painted on.
