Birthday Hair

My birthday is coming up and my cousin's wedding the following month. I want to buy my first full.lace wig. So I have some questions.....
My head is really big. But since i will be sewing it down or sewing a strap into it, could I get away with a large cap with stretch?
I am two years natural 4a.....I will not be leaving my hair out. I am looking to get a 16-20 inch curly unit. Should I find a store in my city(Houston) or order from a CV? I would like to keep it around 300. I plan to know keep my hair put away while it recovers from damage.....which will be about a year. TIA!!!!!

You'll want to measure your head, making sure to measure with your hair braided/styled the way you want it when you wear your wig.

When you say that you'll be sewing a strap into the cap, do you plan to use the Tootsie's mom method or glueless cap?

Chatnoire. Unless I consider my kinks and curls kinky curly, lol. But my hair is mot processed...so I dunno if I wanna deal with that....but straight hair is not my favorite. Honestly, I am terrified to order from a CV.....and more research is making me even more leary.

Starliteboo...thanks for reminding me. I had not considered that.
Honestly, if my head wasn't so big, I would go for a stock unit.
