Impress by Ellen Wille | Changes Collection: A Definitive Style Guide

Meet the Impress by Ellen Wille | Changes Collection — a beautifully crafted synthetic wig that brings long, sweeping elegance to everyday wear and special occasions alike. Part of Ellen Wille's 2019 Changes Collection, the Impress is designed to turn heads with its graceful layers, face-framing fringe, and signature subtle end flip.

Design & Style

The Impress is defined by its long, flowing layers and a nuanced change in density that creates a natural, feminine silhouette. The sweeping fringe layers cascade forward to beautifully frame the face, while the gentle flip at the ends adds a touch of chic flair. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, this style moves from day to evening with effortless sophistication.

Cap Construction

The Impress features a thoughtfully engineered cap that balances a natural appearance with all-day comfort:

  • Crown: Mono Crown construction for a realistic-looking part and natural movement at the top
  • Sides & Back: Wefted / Basic construction for breathability, light weight, and a secure fit
  • Open sides and back ensure optimal ventilation throughout the day
  • Cap Size: Petite / Average — suitable for a range of head sizes
  • Weight: Just 4 oz., for a light, fatigue-free wear experience

Not sure if Petite/Average is the right fit for you? Visit our Wig Size Chart to confirm your measurements before ordering.

Hair Fiber & Styling

The Impress is crafted from synthetic fiber, meaning the style arrives perfectly pre-set and ready to wear with minimal effort. Simply shake, smooth, and go. Because it is not heat-styleable, heat tools such as flat irons or curling wands should never be used, as they will permanently damage the fibers and alter the shape of the style.

The benefit? You get a consistent, polished look every single time with virtually no styling work required. Learn more about caring for synthetic fiber at our Wig Fiber Guide.

Who Is the Impress Best For?

The Impress is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a long, polished, everyday style or an elegant look for a special occasion such as a wedding. Its face-framing fringe and layered silhouette are particularly flattering on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces, as the long layers soften angular features and the end flip adds feminine movement.

The Mono Crown and lightweight 4 oz. build also make it a considerate option for those experiencing hair loss, offering a natural-looking part and reduced scalp fatigue. Those with significant hair loss are encouraged to consult a wig specialist to ensure the best possible fit. Use our Face Shape Analyzer to confirm this style suits your features.

Care & Maintenance

Keeping your Impress looking its best is straightforward with a consistent routine:

  • Wash every 6–8 wears using a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo and cool water
  • Gently swish — never rub — then rinse thoroughly
  • Apply a lightweight wig conditioner, then pat dry with a towel
  • Air dry on a wig stand to preserve the long layers and end flip
  • Avoid brushing when wet to prevent fiber stretching
  • Store on a wig stand to maintain cap shape and durability

With proper care, the Impress typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear, or significantly longer with occasional use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What face shapes does the Impress by Ellen Wille flatter?

The Impress by Ellen Wille is particularly well-suited to oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. The sweeping fringe layers frame and soften angular features, while the long layers and subtle end flip create feminine movement and balance. Use our Face Shape Analyzer to confirm this style is the right match for your unique features before purchasing.

Can I use a flat iron or curling wand on the Impress wig?

No — the Impress by Ellen Wille is made from standard synthetic fiber and is not heat-styleable. Applying heat tools will permanently damage the fibers and distort the pre-set style. The upside is that the style holds its shape on its own, requiring only a gentle shake and smooth to look polished. Visit our Wig Fiber Guide for full care details.

Is the Impress by Ellen Wille suitable for hair loss or sensitive scalps?

Yes, the Impress can be a comfortable option for those experiencing hair loss. The Mono Crown offers a discreet, natural-looking part at the top, while the 4 oz. weight minimizes scalp fatigue during extended wear. The wefted sides and open back promote ventilation, which is beneficial for sensitive scalps. Those with significant hair loss are encouraged to consult a wig specialist for personalized guidance.

How long does the Impress wig last?

With proper care and daily wear, the Impress by Ellen Wille typically lasts 4–6 months. Worn a few times per week, it can last considerably longer. Key longevity factors include gentle washing every 6–8 wears, avoiding heat exposure, minimizing friction, and storing the wig on a stand when not in use to preserve the cap shape and style integrity.

What cap size is the Impress, and will it fit my head?

The Impress by Ellen Wille comes in a Petite/Average cap size, which accommodates a wide range of head circumferences within that range. The Mono Crown sits naturally at the top while wefted sides and back provide a secure, breathable hold.
