I was just wondering if anyone knows what the normal head circumference to height ratio is. I'm curious as to know whether my head is normal or small for my height. Also, what's yours? I'm 71 in. tall w/ 22 3/8 in. head circumference.

Your head should be big enough to fit your brain :lol:

My head's about 22 as well, but i can't find my tape measure (spent 20 minutes looking before giving up)

I will add my height (and adjust the circumference if required) through an edit once I find it.


Looks like so far the trend is slightly smaller than average?
I dunno. i suck at reading charts.

22 = 55.88cm right?
71 = 180 cm?

50 cm head, 155 cm height

So the ratio is

1:3.1

But why?
