The number doesn't give any indication to the actual shape of your head.
Some helmets are better suited for shorter rounded heads, others for longer narrow heads.
Forget the numbers and buy the helmet which feels like it fits best. Remember to try it on with and without a cycling cap underneath as you may want a hat in colder weather (Or summer sun if you're thin on top (Intentionally or genetically)).
