I actually have a somewhat larger head than most evidently, LOL! I have to wear a wig and have had to for years so I like to wear these scarves around the house and to sleep in. This was a beautiful scarf and I would have loved to keep it but my husband ordered it for me because I had it booted up in the shopping cart along with a couple of others and he thought he would surprise me. I prefer a bit more material so that the scarf hangs a bit looser in the back. I would not discourage anyone from buying this scarf. It was made well.
