Charme Small Soft by Ellen Wille
Charme Small Soft by Ellen Wille
Some wigs ask you to meet them halfway — a styling session here, a few tools there, a routine that stands between you and wearing it. Charme Small Soft by Ellen Wille asks nothing. Shake it. Run your fingers through it. Put it on. At 1.72 oz with 100% hand-tied construction and a double monofilament top, it is the lightest Ellen Wille Hair Society style available — and the one that is simply, completely, effortlessly ready.
From Ellen Wille's Hair Society Collection, Charme Small Soft is a short wavy shag with an ear-to-ear extended lace front, double monofilament top, and 100% hand-tied construction — premium synthetic fiber, Petite sizing, 1.72 oz. Front 4", crown 4.75", sides 3.75", nape 2.75". Pre-styled and ready to wear. Not heat-styleable. Ten Rooted and Mix colors. The lightest, most gently constructed short wavy shag in the Hair Society Collection.
The Lightest Style in the Hair Society Collection
At 1.72 oz, Charme Small Soft is the lightest confirmed Ellen Wille Hair Society style at MyHairMail — and it is not close. For context, the other Hair Society styles weigh 1.9 oz (Avenue Small Soft), 2.1 oz (Escape Soft), 2.3 oz (Romance Deluxe), 2.5 oz (Esprit Small Soft), and 3.3 oz (Icone Small Deluxe). Charme Small Soft is lighter than all of them.
That weight difference matters more than it might seem on paper. At 1.72 oz, Charme Small Soft is the kind of weight that genuinely disappears from awareness. Wearers stop thinking about it. There is no accumulating awareness of the wig as the hours pass, no growing heaviness at the end of a long day, no warmth building at the scalp through an afternoon. Just hair — light, present, and completely unconsidered — the way your own hair would feel if you were paying it no attention. For buyers who have worn heavier styles and found them accumulating on the head through extended wear, 1.72 oz is a specific, meaningful relief. And for buyers managing hair loss on sensitive scalps, it is the construction that is most gentle, most breathable, and most sustainable as a daily reality.
What Makes the Construction So Special
100% Hand-Tied — The Standard That Produces Genuine Natural Movement
Charme Small Soft is 100% hand-tied throughout — every single hair in the cap individually hand-tied by hand. This is the construction standard the Hair Society Collection was built around, and it is the feature that produces the specific natural, multidirectional movement quality that makes Charme's soft waves respond to your movement the way genuinely growing hair does.
Each hand-tied hair moves freely from its own individual knot point — the waves shifting and catching light individually rather than as weft-anchored sections. The effect is the specific alive, naturally-varied movement of real wavy hair rather than the uniform movement of machine-made wefts. Ellen Wille describes the Hair Society Collection as providing "the highest level of workmanship, ultimate comfort, and reflecting some of our most natural and beautiful designs" — and the 100% hand-tied construction is the specific element most responsible for that natural quality. It also means the cap conforms closely to the head rather than holding a rigid shape, which contributes to both the precise petite fit and the featherlight comfort.
Double Monofilament Top — Extra Softness, Extra Natural
Charme Small Soft features a double monofilament top — two layers of fine sheer mesh at the crown rather than the single layer used in standard monofilament constructions. The double layer does two things simultaneously: it provides an additional layer of cushioning softness directly against the scalp — specifically beneficial for sensitive skin and sensitive scalps — and it delivers the realistic scalp appearance at the crown that makes the parting and the top of the style look like natural hair growth rather than cap material.
For buyers managing hair loss, the double monofilament top is specifically the right construction at the crown. The extra softness means the cap is gentle against the most sensitive area of the head without any seam pressure or weft line contact, and the natural-looking scalp appearance means the top of the style is convincing even at close-range viewing. The double mono top is not the standard in even premium wig construction — it is a specific upgrade that Charme Small Soft carries as part of the Hair Society Collection's commitment to the most natural-looking and most comfortable construction available.
Ear-to-Ear Extended Lace Front — Total Confidence From Temple to Temple
Charme Small Soft's ear-to-ear extended lace front reaches from one ear to the other across the entire front hairline. Ellen Wille specifically describes it as offering "total confidence in a seamless and natural hairline" — and for a short wavy shag worn in any direction, that full-width coverage is what makes the hairline convincing at every angle. Whether the waves are worn forward, swept to the side, or styled back from the face, the lace front maintains a natural-looking hairline across the complete front with no visible cap edge. Individual hairs are hand-tied through fine lace that blends with all skin tones.
The Petite Cap: Built for Smaller Heads
Charme Small Soft is built on a petite cap, specifically sized for smaller head circumferences. Ellen Wille's Hair Society styles are known to run on the smaller side, and the petite version is sized specifically for wearers who need a closer fit than an average cap provides.
For anyone who has struggled with wigs that sit too high, shift during the day, or gap at the nape, the petite cap is the specific solution: a closer, more secure fit with no excess cap material and no constant readjusting. The 100% hand-tied construction adds to this — the cap conforms to the shape of the head rather than holding a rigid structure, giving Charme Small Soft an even more customized, precisely-fitted feel. For a style this light, that close fit also means there is nothing to shift, nothing to adjust, and nothing to think about — the cap simply sits where it should and stays there.
If you are not sure whether the petite cap is right for your head size, Ask Angela℠ — she can help you confirm the fit before you order.
The Style: A Softly Waved, Artistically Cut Shag
Charme Small Soft is a softly waved, artistically cut shag — the specific short silhouette where the careful placement of graduated layers creates a style that looks perfect in any direction, without requiring any particular styling effort to get there. Ellen Wille confirms this directly: the longer, fuller layers on the top are balanced with the shorter nape length so that you can create the perfect shape no matter which way you wish to wear it. That versatility is built into the cut rather than achieved through styling — it is the result of deliberate layer placement rather than a favorable response to a flat iron.
The crown at 4.75" and front at 4" create the fuller, more voluminous top that gives the shag its characteristic lift and dimension. The sides at 3.75" create the piecey, softly layered face-framing character that distinguishes a shag from a more structured short cut. The nape at 2.75" keeps the back short, neat, and tapered — light and unencumbered.
The soft, wispy wave texture throughout gives the style its artistically undone quality. Not tightly curled, not straight, but the specific soft, naturally-varied wave that reads as effortlessly personal rather than set into place. Low density allows the waves to fall with their natural weight. And because the premium synthetic fiber mimics the appearance, feel, and movement of biological hair — in Ellen Wille's own confirmed language — the waves read as genuinely natural rather than as a synthetic style set.
Pre-Styled, Ready to Wear, and Genuinely Low-Maintenance
Charme Small Soft arrives pre-styled and ready to wear right out of the box. The artistically cut shag character and the soft wave texture are already there — set in the fiber, permanent, and returning automatically after every wash. There is no styling session standing between you and wearing it, no tools to gather, no effort to invest. Take it out, put it on, and the shag is simply ready.
Between wears, finger-styling is all that is ever needed. Shake it, run your fingers through the waves, and the shag finds its shape naturally — the way your own naturally wavy hair would after a wash. Ellen Wille's confirmed care instruction for Charme is "shake and style with your fingers," and it means exactly what it says. The style is done in the time it takes to put it on.
Standard Synthetic Fiber: The Right Choice for This Shag
Charme Small Soft is standard synthetic fiber — not heat-friendly. No flat irons, no curling wands, no blow dryers, no heat sources of any kind. Heat will permanently damage the fiber and destroy the soft wave character the style is built around.
For a softly waved, artistically cut shag like Charme, standard synthetic fiber is the right choice — specifically because the waves are permanent. They are there from the first wear, they return after every wash as the fiber air-dries, and they remain consistent throughout the life of the style without any maintenance, any heat re-styling, or any effort to restore the wave character. The factory-set waves are not a version of the look that requires upkeep — they are simply the look, reliably, every single time. For the buyer who wants a short wavy everyday style that is always ready, always consistent, and always asking nothing of them, standard synthetic fiber is the specific advantage that makes Charme Small Soft possible.

The Mix shades add multi-tonal, dimensional color variation for a realistic, light-catching result. For an ear-to-ear extended lace front style, the color at the front hairline must blend convincingly with your skin tone across the full front. Ask Angela℠ for personalized color matching guidance before ordering — a direct consultation is the most reliable pre-purchase step.
Caring for Charme Small Soft
Gently detangle before washing with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, working from the ends toward the cap. Dilute a small amount of synthetic wig shampoo in cool water and soak for approximately 10 minutes — do not rub, wring, or agitate. Rinse thoroughly with cool water. Apply a synthetic fiber conditioner diluted in cool water, soak for 10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Gently press dry with a towel without twisting. Air dry on a wig stand and finger-style the waves as desired while drying — the soft wavy shag character returns as the fiber dries, thanks to the built-in style memory of premium synthetic fiber. No tools, no product, no effort. Never use heat tools on Charme Small Soft, and be cautious near heat sources such as open ovens or heaters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Charme Small Soft heat-friendly?
No — standard synthetic fiber. Do not use flat irons, curling wands, blow dryers, or any heat tools, and be cautious near heat sources such as open ovens or heaters. The soft wavy shag is pre-styled and returns automatically after washing — shake it and finger-style it. No heat tools are needed or recommended.
How light is Charme Small Soft?
1.72 oz — the lightest confirmed Ellen Wille Hair Society style at MyHairMail. Lighter than Avenue Small Soft (1.9 oz), Escape Soft (2.1 oz), Romance Deluxe (2.3 oz), Esprit Small Soft (2.5 oz), and Icone Small Deluxe (3.3 oz).
What is the cap construction?
Ear-to-ear extended lace front, double monofilament top, and 100% hand-tied throughout. The ear-to-ear lace front provides a natural-looking hairline from temple to temple; the double mono top provides added softness and natural scalp appearance at the crown; the 100% hand-tied cap provides natural multidirectional movement and a conforming, customized fit.
What does the double monofilament top do differently from a single mono top?
The double monofilament adds an extra layer of fine sheer mesh at the crown — providing additional cushioning softness against the skin (specifically beneficial for sensitive scalps) while maintaining the natural scalp appearance that a standard single mono top delivers. It is a construction upgrade specifically suited to hair loss wearers who need maximum gentleness at the crown.
Who is the petite cap for?
The petite cap is sized for smaller head circumferences. Ellen Wille's Hair Society styles tend to run smaller, and the petite version is sized for wearers who need a closer fit.
