How Cassis Works: Combs, Drawstring, Done

Cassis uses a dual-attachment system that is both more secure and more concealed than a simple scrunchie wrap — and the technique is easy to learn:

Step 1: Gather your own hair into a loose bun or ponytail at your preferred position — high, mid, or low.

Step 2: Position the Cassis base over your gathered hair. Two combs run parallel across the base — slide these into your hair, securing the bun firmly to your own gathered base.

Step 3: Pull the drawstring to cinch the base tightly around your gathered hair. Then tuck the drawstring inside the bun so it is completely invisible. If additional security is needed, a few bobby pins around the base edge will hold it in place.

The confirmed description: "the combs and drawstring attachment ensure all-day security, so you don't have to worry about any movement throughout the day." The comb-plus-drawstring system is specifically why Cassis stays put where a simple scrunchie wrap may shift — the combs bite into your own hair, and the drawstring cinches the base around the gathered point, creating a locked attachment that holds through active movement.

The Bun: Evenly Layered for Natural Volume

Cassis is described by confirmed sources as "an evenly layered hairpiece that gives you the perfect messy bun, without the fuss of trying it with your own hair." The even layering throughout the bun's construction creates the dimensional, full, naturally-textured quality of a well-made bun — not a flat, uniform ball of fiber, but a layered, volumized bun with the organic character of hair that was actually styled. At 3.5"–4.5" of straight layered fiber over an approximately 5" base, Cassis is shaped to sit as a complete, proportionate bun from the moment it is attached — no shaping, no backcombing, no product required.

Heat Styling: Low Temperature Only

Cassis is heat-friendly synthetic — but as with all Ellen Wille Power Pieces scrunchie and bun hairpieces, the heat limit for this product is low temperature. A blow dryer on a cool or low setting can be used to smooth and direct the fiber gently. Do not apply full wig heat-styling temperatures. For most wearers, Cassis's straight evenly-layered bun is ready to wear exactly as-is without any heat tool involvement.

Washing and Care

Wash every seven wears using Ellen Wille Shampoo and Conditioner or a gentle synthetic-appropriate shampoo. Soak in cool water, gently swish — do not rub or wring. Rinse thoroughly. Gently press out water with a towel. Air dry on a wig stand. Between washes, a light spray of Ellen Wille Hair Tip Liquid or equivalent synthetic conditioning spray helps maintain softness and shine.

Available Colors — 12 Shades

For the most natural result, match Cassis to your own hair at the bun attachment point — where the combs and drawstring sit and the transition between your gathered hair and the Cassis bun base is most visible. Ask Angela℠ before ordering for personalized color matching guidance.

Who Cassis Is For

You want a polished, voluminous bun that stays put all day without technique. Cassis is specifically the answer for buyers who want the updo result without the updo skill requirement. The evenly layered bun is pre-shaped and volumized from the first attachment — no backcombing, no product, no fifteen-minute styling session.

You need a bun that actually stays in place through an active day. The dual comb-plus-drawstring attachment is more secure than a scrunchie wrap — specifically designed for all-day hold without movement. For buyers who have experienced scrunchie bun pieces shifting or falling by midday, Cassis's fixed attachment resolves that.

You are managing thin or fine hair that will not hold a voluminous bun on its own. Cassis adds the volume and dimensional bun character that thin or fine hair cannot produce through backcombing or product alone. The comb attachment requires only enough gathered hair to insert the combs — approximately 2"–3" of gathered hair creates a sufficient base for the attachment.

You want an occasion-ready updo without a salon visit. The Cassis bun produces a polished, professional, occasion-ready bun in the time it takes to gather your hair and clip two combs in place. For events, formal occasions, and days when a great bun matters, Cassis delivers it in under a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cassis and Cava?
Both are Ellen Wille Power Pieces bun hairpieces. Cava is a scrunchie — elastic wrap, no combs, simpler application. Cassis is a drawstring bun — two combs plus drawstring, more secure hold, pre-shaped into a bun form. Cassis is generally more secure and more defined in bun shape. Cava is faster to apply and more versatile for ponytail configurations.

How much of my own hair do I need?
Enough to gather for the two combs to insert into — approximately 2"–3" of gathered hair creates a sufficient base. Very short hair may not provide enough for the combs to grip securely. Ask Angela℠ if you are unsure.

Can I heat-style Cassis?
At low temperatures only — cool or low blow dryer setting. Do not apply high heat. The straight evenly layered bun is ready to wear as-is for most wearers without any heat tools.

How do I hide the drawstring?
Tuck it inside the bun after cinching. The confirmed technique: "tuck the drawstring into your bun to ensure you cannot see it." Bobby pins around the base edge add additional security and help keep the tuck in place.

How do I match the color?
Ask Angela℠ before ordering. Match to your own hair at the attachment point — the combs and drawstring base is where your hair meets the Cassis fiber, and the match at that transition is most important.
