Avenue Small Soft by Ellen Wille
Avenue Small Soft by Ellen Wille
For anyone with a smaller head who has spent years fighting wigs that sit too big, slip too easily, or gap at the nape, Avenue Small Soft by Ellen Wille is the answer that should have existed all along — a modern short shag built on a genuinely petite cap, with an ear-to-ear lace front, a monofilament part, and heat-friendly fiber, at a featherlight 1.9 oz that fits like it was made for you.
From Ellen Wille's Hair Society Collection, Avenue Small Soft is a short shag with an ear-to-ear lace front, mono part, and partially hand-tied construction — premium heat-friendly synthetic fiber, Petite sizing, 1.9 oz. Front 4", crown 5.5", sides 3", nape 2.5". Heat-styleable up to 350°F. Ten Rooted, Mix, and Lighted colors. The cool, contemporary short shag built specifically for smaller head sizes.
The Petite Cap Problem — And Why Avenue Small Soft Solves It
Most wigs are made on an average cap, sized to fit the broadest range of head circumferences. For many wearers, that works. But for women with smaller heads, the average cap is a constant source of frustration: the wig sits too high, shifts during the day, gaps at the nape, or simply has too much excess cap material to ever look or feel right. The usual workarounds — adjustable straps cinched to their limit, tape, extra clips — help, but they treat the symptom rather than the cause.
Avenue Small Soft treats the cause. It is built on a genuinely petite cap, specifically sized for smaller head circumferences. That means it sits where it should, stays where you put it, and does not require a collection of workarounds to wear comfortably. Combined with the partially hand-tied construction that conforms to the shape of the head, the petite cap gives Avenue Small Soft a fit that feels customized rather than approximated — the closer, more secure, more natural fit that smaller-headed wearers have often had to go without.
If you are not sure whether a petite cap is right for your head size, Ask Angela℠ — she can help you confirm the fit before you order, so the wig that arrives is the one that fits.
Heat-Friendly Fiber: Make the Shag Your Own
Avenue Small Soft is made with Ellen Wille's premium heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which means you can use heat tools to refine and adjust the style up to a maximum of 350°F. For a short shag, that flexibility is specifically useful — you can smooth the layers for a sleeker finish, enhance the piecey texture for more edge, or subtly reshape the style to suit your face and your taste. The shag is not locked into a single fixed shape; it is a starting point you can make your own.
Heat-friendly fiber also has a built-in style-memory property: once you set the style with heat, it holds — through daily wear and through washing — until you apply heat again. After washing, the style you set returns as the fiber air-dries. For the best results, heat-style on dry fiber in small, controllable sections, keep your tool at or below 350°F, use a heat protectant formulated for heat-friendly synthetic fiber, and let the fiber cool completely to lock in the look.

The Construction: Natural-Looking at Every Scrutinized Point
Ear-to-Ear Lace Front
Avenue Small Soft's ear-to-ear lace front extends the lace across the entire front hairline, from one ear to the other — giving you a natural-looking hairline across the full width of the front rather than just at the center. For a short shag, where the hairline sits at close range and in constant view, this full-width coverage is what makes the front convincing at every angle. Individual hairs are hand-tied through fine lace that blends with all skin tones, creating the appearance of hair growing directly from your skin from temple to temple. Worn with the layers framing your face or styled slightly back, the hairline stays convincing across the whole front, with no visible cap edge.
The Monofilament Part
The monofilament part creates a realistic scalp appearance at the parting — individual hairs sewn through a fine sheer mesh at the part area, each reading as scalp rather than cap material when the hair is divided. For a short shag, the mono part is what makes the parting look genuinely natural from above and at close range, giving the layers a convincing point of origin. Together with the ear-to-ear lace front, it means the two most scrutinized points of any short style — the hairline and the part — both read as natural.
Partially Hand-Tied
Avenue Small Soft is partially hand-tied — combining hand-tied sections for natural, multidirectional movement with wefted sections for structure and breathability. The hand-tied areas let the shaggy layers move realistically, while the overall construction keeps the cap lightweight and breathable. This is a key reason Avenue Small Soft is so exceptionally light: at just 1.9 oz, it is among the very lightest styles in the entire Hair Society Collection, pairing natural movement with almost no weight.
The Style: A Cool, Contemporary Short Shag
Avenue Small Soft is a modern short shag — the silhouette where soft, layered, piecey texture creates an effortlessly cool, European-inspired character. The crown at 5.5" creates the layered volume and lift that gives the shag its dimensional shape at the top. The front at 4" provides soft face-framing layers. The sides at 3" keep the style compact and close at the face. The nape at 2.5" keeps the back clean and tapered.
The soft shag layering throughout is what gives the style its effortless, lived-in quality — the layers create movement and texture rather than a rigid, uniform shape, producing the cool, undone, contemporary character of a genuinely well-cut short shag. It is polished and European-inspired without being fussy or overly precise — the kind of short style that looks intentional and effortless at the same time. And with heat-friendly fiber, that texture is yours to refine whenever you want a slightly different version of the look.

Ellen Wille's Rooted colors feature a darker shade at the root that transitions into the lighter overall color — creating the natural-looking depth of genuine hair growth at the part and hairline. The Mix and Lighted shades add dimensional, multi-tonal color variation for a realistic, light-catching result. For an ear-to-ear lace front style, color selection carries a specific consideration: the color at the front hairline must blend convincingly with your skin tone across the full front perimeter. Ask Angela℠ for personalized color matching guidance before ordering — a direct consultation is the most reliable pre-purchase step.
Caring for Avenue 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 formulated for heat-friendly fiber in cool water and soak for approximately 10 minutes — do not rub, wring, or agitate. Rinse thoroughly with cool water. Apply a conditioner formulated for heat-friendly synthetic fiber, diluted in cool water, and rinse thoroughly. Gently press dry with a towel without twisting. Air dry on a wig stand, and the style you have set returns as the fiber dries. To restyle, use heat tools up to 350°F on dry fiber, working in small sections with a heat protectant, and allow to cool completely to lock in the new look.
