Short styles are perfect for women on the go, they can be quickly and easily styled into many fashions and don’t require hours of drying and heat styling, unlike longer hair.
From Kim Kardashian’s chin-length bob to Wednesday star Jenna Ortega’s layered chop, short hair is making a comeback on the red carpet and consequently into the world of fashion. The bob and boyfriend haircuts have been welcomed back onto the circuit and are the next “must have” styles.
Whether you have lost your hair due to alopecia or chemotherapy, or are simply looking to change up your style, wigs are an excellent way to achieve your desired look. In this blog, we are exploring all-things short wigs, and how you can find the perfect short wig for every occasion.
The Benefits of Short Wigs
When it comes to short wigs, the list of benefits is extensive. Here are just a few reasons why now may be the time to invest in one.
Easy Styling
Short styles are perfect for women on the go, they can be quickly and easily styled into many fashions and don’t require hours of drying and heat styling, unlike longer hair. Once washed, the hair falls straight back into place and can be easily styled without the need of clips, grips and hairbands.
Draw Attention
Short length wigs will draw out your eyes and lips and focus attention on your face, provide a natural look as well as making you appear younger. This chic look is suited to women of all ages and these are the easiest to maintain when it comes to wigs and hair pieces.
Special Occasion Wigs
One of the benefits of becoming an avid wig wearer is that there are extensive short hair wigs to choose from. As such, you can enjoy styling your existing wig or picking out a new one, for a variety of fun occasions. From natural wigs to bob styles, here are some ideas to get you started!

Summer Holiday Wigs
One of the downsides of longer wigs is that they can be heavier and just like human hair, can make the back of your neck unpleasantly hot. For this reason, we recommend switching to a shorter style during the Summer. Here are some of our top wig picks.

Risk Sensitive Wig
The Risk Sensitive Wig from the Ellen Wille Hairpower Collection is the ideal wig for a summer holiday. Not only is the hair firmly away from the face, but it is also made from natural looking synthetic fibre. Synthetic wigs are the winner when it comes to the summer monthly as the fibres are 2-3 times lighter than human hair, making them lighter, more breathable, and more comfortable.
Point Wig
Another popular choice for the summer months is the Point Wig from the Ellen Wille Perucci Collection. This synthetic wig comes pre-styled, giving you more time to enjoy your vacation. The lightweight cap also has soft wefts, providing a breathable fit, ideal for warmer weather.
Christmas Wigs
Surrounded by family and friends, some wig wearers choose to go wig-free during this time of the year. However, if you’d prefer to don a wig during the festive period, here are some styles to consider.
Yarrow Wig
The Yarrow Wig from Natural Collection is available in a plethora of autumnal colours and would pair nicely with a deep red lipstick over the colder months. A unique blend of 30% human hair and 70% synthetic fibre, this wig allows usage of heat appliances up to 180 degrees Celsius, meaning it can be styled to your preference. So, whether you would prefer to keep it sleek and straight or put in some loose beach waves – the choice is yours.
Night Wig
Christmas is all about comfort. The Night Wig from the Ellen Wille Changes Collection offers exactly this and has a fully adjustable cap. It has been crafted from the finest materials available to ensure it’s lightweight and has maximum comfort. Relax with your loved ones and feel at your most comfortable with this headpiece.
