Link by Ellen Wille

Link is one of those petite cap wigs that have a low density and look supremely natural. This realistic wig is a tousled pixie cut with a long side-swept fringe. Because this style is made with heat-friendly synthetic fiber, you can customize the feathered layers to your liking with heat tools. Wear off the face and parted to the side to reveal a gorgeous lace front hairline and monofilament part.

Heard It All by Raquel Welch

In this collection of the most realistic wigs, Heard It All has a tapered nape and a fuller bang area to keep you cool and stylish at the same time. Because of this style’s light density, you’ll hardly remember you’re wearing a wig at all.

Clever by Ellen Wille

This shag-cut wig has choppy layers that taper at the nape. This realistic synthetic wig has a lace front and monofilament crown, making this light density style supremely natural. Clever has a hair density that is not too thick or too thin, so you can wear this style sleek and smooth or add a little BeautiMark Shaping Creme to get a texturized, tousled look.
