If you measure your head and buy the correct size helmet you can still get a non fitting helmet that is too loose or too tight because of different head shapes. You should not be able to turn the helmet on your head and it should not be too tight front to back either. After many years of headaches I found a Arai helmet to fit my narrow head shape, expensive but comfortable. Do some research on head shapes and what helmet fits your noggin if you need to. I went to a Japanese bike dealer and tried on helmets is where I found a perfect fit, I just paid the money and left with it. Now I know what style and size I need and I'm on my third one.
