Meet the Side by Ellen Wille | Elements Collection

The Side by Ellen Wille is a sophisticated, ready-to-wear wig from Ellen Wille's Elements Collection. Designed with elegant fullness at the crown and longer bangs that beautifully frame the face, the Side wig delivers a polished, refined look with minimal effort. Its back transitions seamlessly into a neck-hugging nape for a clean, finished silhouette that works equally well for everyday wear or special occasions.

Style & Construction

The Side by Ellen Wille is built on a monofilament crown combined with a wefted basic cap — a pairing that balances a natural appearance with all-day comfort and breathability. The monofilament crown mimics the look of a natural scalp, creating a realistic hair flow that holds up even under close inspection. The lightweight wefted construction keeps the cap breathable throughout the day.

Fit & Sizing

The Side wig is sized for petite to average head circumferences. Most Ellen Wille caps include adjustable straps for a more customized, secure fit. If you're unsure about sizing, refer to the Ellen Wille Wig Size Chart before ordering to find your best match.

Heat Styling & Care

Because the Side by Ellen Wille is made from standard synthetic fiber, it is not heat-styleable. Curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers should be avoided entirely, as heat will permanently damage the fibers. The good news: the style arrives pre-set and ready to wear — a gentle shake and finger-comb is typically all that's needed. Visit our Wig Fiber Guide to learn more about caring for synthetic wigs.

For washing, use a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo and cool water every 10 to 15 wears. Gently submerge, swish, and rinse — never scrub or wring. Air dry on a wig stand to preserve shape and fiber integrity, away from direct sunlight or excess heat.

Is the Side by Ellen Wille Right for You?

The Side wig is an especially strong fit for women seeking a polished, everyday style with soft, face-framing fullness. Its longer bangs and elegant crown volume complement oval, round, and heart-shaped faces particularly well. The petite/average cap size also makes it a solid choice for those with smaller head circumferences. Use our Face Shape Analyzer to see how the Side could work for you.

For those experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, the monofilament crown creates a realistic scalp appearance, while the soft wefted cap is gentle against sensitive scalps. Women with complete hair loss may wish to pair the wig with a liner or adhesive for additional security.

Longevity

With proper care, the Side by Ellen Wille typically lasts 4 to 6 months with daily wear — or significantly longer with occasional use. Its lightweight 2.1 oz construction reduces fiber stress during everyday wear, helping to extend the wig's lifespan when paired with consistent, gentle maintenance.
