Ellen Wille is a premium choice for wearers who want a lace front with a natural top as well as a natural front. Many of its styles sold at HeadCovers Unlimited pair a lace front with a monofilament crown, including Spring Hi, Tab and Risk, and are sized petite/average for smaller heads. The US distributor's site shows the main collections: High Power heat-friendly synthetic wigs, the Perucci and Changes lines and the Pure Power Remy human hair range, where one style was listed at $4,895.65. The company says it was established in 1967, and Ellen Wille remains involved in each design. When we checked HeadCovers, Spring Hi was $342.55, Tab was $359.55 and Risk was $393.55, so this is the costliest entry point in the list. If budget allows and you prefer synthetic or European-designed caps, the mono crown plus lace front combination is hard to beat.
