Average head width

Is there an average head width? I've just sort of looked at mine and it's about 18cm. Seems pretty big when you look at a 15cm ruler and add a bit.

Well, depends on your ethnicity. I remember learning bone identification in my Forensics class. There are 3 types of classifications for humans; Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid.

Each have their differences so If your gonna compare to somebody make sure their in the same classification as you.

Mine is about 16cm wide, and I fall under Caucasoid.

i doubt it tbh.
head size is made to fit each body, so it would vary

Did you actually measure that? Would yours be considered large?

Yeah, with a ruler, and converted it to centimeters.
I'm actually kinda short (5'6") and my head isn't large at all. It's very proportionate to the rest of me :3

Lol, I made an error. It's actually 16.5cm. Whoops. It doesn't look TOO bad on me, because of my height. I hope I can get to 6"2 before I stop growing, so it'll look smaller.

Wait... Wrong again. It's 15.5cm. "Face-palm"
