head size

Hat fitting dimension

Head size is the measurement of someone's head, typically the circumference around the forehead, used for fitting hats, helmets, and other headwear.

It also refers more generally to how large or small someone's head is relative to their body or to average proportions: The pediatrician tracks head size at each checkup.
