Verbena by Ellen Wille: The Human Hair Open-Crown Headband Piece
Verbena by Ellen Wille is a 100% human hair, open-crown headband hairpiece from the Ellen Wille Power Pieces collection — designed to add straight, naturally-blending hair at the sides and back while your own crown hair emerges through the open center for a seamless, three-dimensional finish.
Cap Construction: The Open-Crown Elastic Band
Verbena is built on an elastic circular band with an open crown. The band fits along the hairline, and the crown is left completely open — your own hair emerges naturally through the center, exactly as it would without any piece in place. Open wefts of straight human hair sit at the sides and back, framing your crown hair from around and below rather than covering it from above.
This construction is what separates Verbena from full-circumference pieces. The open crown puts your own hair at the most visible point of the style. Verbena adds volume and length at the perimeter — creating a depth and dimension no full-coverage piece can replicate.
Application is simple: slip the band on. No clips, no pins, no adhesive required.
Fiber & Styling: 100% Human Hair
Verbena is crafted from 100% human hair — processed, with low temperature recommended for daily use. Because the fiber at the sides is structurally identical to your own hair — the same protein, the same surface, the same response to light, air, and touch — the blend at the transition point is a genuine material match rather than a visual approximation.
- Fiber: 100% Human Hair (processed)
- Texture: Straight, natural, smooth
- Length: 6"–9" (chin-to-shoulder level at sides and back)
- Weight: 2.4 oz.
- Heat Styling: Full professional range; low temperature recommended for processed fiber
- Post-Wash: Active styling required — human hair does not return to straight automatically
Because Verbena is human hair, it can be colored by a professional — a significant advantage for buyers seeking a precise match to their own shade. The confirmed brand description earns every word: "Verbena moves, colours, and styles as your own — because with human hair this authentic, it truly is."

Verbena vs. Stevia: Choosing the Right Open-Crown Piece
Two Power Pieces at MyHairMail share the open-crown elastic headband construction. Here is the direct comparison:
- Verbena: 100% human hair · Straight · 6"–9" · Full professional heat range · Active post-wash styling required · Best for buyers wanting authentic straight blending
- Stevia: Heat-friendly synthetic · Wavy/curly · 15" · Up to 266°F · Returns to style automatically after washing · Best for buyers wanting wavy volume with easier care
If your own crown hair is straight and authenticity of blend is the priority, Verbena is the specific answer. If effortless wavy volume is the goal, Stevia is the right choice. Ask Angela℠ for personalized guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Verbena by Ellen Wille — is it a wig or a topper?
Verbena is neither a full wig nor a traditional topper. It is an open-crown elastic headband hairpiece from the Ellen Wille Power Pieces collection. The elastic band fits along the hairline, and the crown is left open so your own hair emerges naturally through the top. Straight human hair wefts at the sides and back frame your crown hair, adding length and volume without covering the most visible area of your style.
Is the Verbena made from real human hair?
Yes. Verbena is crafted from 100% human hair (processed). Because the fiber is structurally identical to your own hair — same protein, same surface quality, same movement — the blend between Verbena's side hair and your own crown hair is a genuine material match. It can be heat-styled across the full professional range (low temperature recommended) and can be professionally colored for a precise shade match.
Do I need to restyle Verbena after washing?
Yes. Because Verbena is human hair, it does not return to its straight style automatically after washing the way a synthetic piece would. Post-wash active styling — blow-drying, flat-ironing, or otherwise smoothing the fiber — is required to restore the straight texture. Buyers who prefer a low-maintenance wash-and-wear routine may want to consider Stevia, the synthetic wavy alternative in the same open-crown construction.
How many colors does Verbena come in, and can I color it?
Verbena is available in 12 shades, including Rooted options for a natural root effect. Because it is 100% human hair, it can also be professionally colored to match your own hair precisely — a significant advantage over synthetic alternatives. Use the MyHairMail Color Guide or Ask Angela℠ for personalized color matching assistance before you order.
How is Verbena attached — does it need clips or adhesive?
No clips, no pins, and no adhesive are needed. Verbena slips on via its elastic circular band, which fits along the hairline. The open-crown design means your own hair emerges naturally through the center. The slip-on application makes Verbena one of the simplest hairpieces in the Power Pieces collection to put on and remove.
