Storyville Wig by Ellen Wille – Shoulder-Length Curly Synthetic Wig
The Storyville Wig by Ellen Wille is a playful shoulder-length curly synthetic wig filled with soft, bouncy curls and natural-looking movement. Designed with a lighter density, Storyville recreates the appearance of naturally curly hair without excessive volume or bulk.
The defined curls create beautiful texture and dimension throughout the style, while the shoulder-length silhouette provides a flattering, wearable shape. Its carefully designed density keeps the curls looking soft and natural while requiring little to no customization or thinning.
Crafted from premium ready-to-wear synthetic fiber, Storyville arrives pre-styled with its curl pattern already in place. The easy-care fiber maintains its shape with minimal daily styling—simply shake the wig gently and arrange the curls with your fingertips.
A temple-to-temple lace front creates a seamless, natural-looking hairline and provides flexibility for styling the curls away from the face. Open wefting along the sides and back promotes airflow throughout the cap for lightweight, breathable comfort.

Synthetic wigs and hair toppers are made with a lightweight fiber that holds its style, color and curl pattern, even after washing. With simple care, a synthetic wig stays soft, shiny and natural-looking for months. This guide covers how to wash, dry, detangle and store a regular synthetic wig or topper. If your wig is heat friendly (HF, HD or heat resistant), see our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide instead.
Synthetic Wig Care: Quick Answers
How often should I wash a synthetic wig? About every 6 to 8 wears, or sooner in hot weather or if you use styling products.
Can I use heat on a synthetic wig? No. Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers can melt or frizz regular synthetic fiber. Only heat friendly synthetic and human hair wigs can be heat styled.
What shampoo should I use? A shampoo and conditioner made for synthetic fiber. Regular shampoo can dry out and dull the fiber.
How do I dry it? Let it air dry on a wig stand. Do not blow dry.
How long does a synthetic wig last? With regular wear and good care, most synthetic wigs last about 4 to 6 months.
How to Wash a Synthetic Wig or Topper
Gently remove tangles with a wide tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up.
Hold the wig under cool running water, letting the water flow in the direction the hair falls.
Gently lather a capful of shampoo made for synthetic hair through the fiber, keeping the hair moving in one direction. Do not rub or scrub, which causes tangling.
Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear.
Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out the excess water. Do not wring or twist it.
Mist the ends with a conditioning spray made for synthetic hair and gently detangle with a wide tooth comb, keeping the conditioner away from the cap.
How to Dry and Style a Synthetic Wig
Place the wig on a plastic or wire wig stand and let it air dry completely. Do not blow dry.
Make sure the cap is fully dry before wearing or storing the wig.
Once dry, shake the wig out and style it with your fingertips or a wig brush or comb. The fiber will return to its original style.
Do not use curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers unless the wig is specifically labeled heat friendly synthetic or human hair.
How to Prevent Tangling and Frizz
Synthetic fiber can tangle or frizz over time, especially at the nape and on mid-length and long styles, where hair rubs against collars, scarves and car seats. To keep it smooth:
Always comb from the ends upward, never from the root down.
Reduce friction at the nape by avoiding rough collars and high-friction fabrics.
Avoid brushing curly or wavy styles when dry; separate curls with your fingers instead.
Keep Your Synthetic Wig Away from Heat
Regular synthetic fiber is sensitive to heat. Be cautious near open ovens, grills, heaters, dishwashers and steam, and when lighting candles or fireplaces. A sudden blast of heat can frizz or melt the fiber in seconds, and the damage can't be reversed.
How to Store a Synthetic Wig
Store your wig on a wig stand or in its original hairnet, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep it out of humid bathrooms when not in use.
For travel, place it inside a hairnet and pack it loosely in a box or bag so it doesn't get crushed.
When to Replace a Synthetic Wig
Signs it's time for a new wig include frizz at the ends that won't comb out, a dry or dull texture, thinning at the nape or a stretched cap. Rotating between two wigs helps each one last longer.
You'll need a synthetic wig shampoo and conditioner, a detangling spray, a wide tooth comb and a wig stand. Shop wig care products for synthetic hair.
Synthetic Wig Care FAQ
Can I sleep or shower in a synthetic wig?
It's best not to. Sleeping in a wig causes friction and tangling, and shower heat and steam can damage the fiber. Remove your wig and place it on a stand overnight.
Why is my synthetic wig frizzy at the ends?
Frizz is usually caused by friction against clothing or by exposure to heat. Detangle daily, reduce friction at the nape and keep the wig away from heat sources. Regular synthetic frizz can't be smoothed with heat, so prevention is key.
Can I color or dye a synthetic wig?
No. Synthetic fiber does not absorb hair dye. If you'd like a new color, choose a new wig; our wig color charts can help you compare shades by brand.
What's the difference between synthetic and heat friendly synthetic wigs?
Regular synthetic wigs hold their style permanently and can't be heat styled. Heat friendly synthetic wigs can be restyled with low heat but may need a little more daily care. See our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide.
Can I use regular shampoo on a synthetic wig?
It's best not to. Regular shampoos can strip and dull synthetic fiber. Use products made specifically for synthetic wigs.

Reviews
This is the most beautiful
"This is the most beautiful wig but too much hair for me. The back is perfect just like my hair, but the top was just too much hair and really did not look right on me. I wish I could have worn it. I would love to find a topper like this without so much hair on the top. Ellen Wille is the best. I will not shop anywhere else than WigStudio1. com. They are amazing, the return process is effortless and fast. Love, love, the customer service. !!!!"

The Storyville is a beautiful
"The Storyville is a beautiful wig. It fits me perfectly (my size is average and it is so naturally looking that not even my close friends noticed that I am wearing a wig:) I bought two of these wigs, one in sandy blonde and one in champagne, both rooted. The wigs are very light-weight, with hardly any permatease. The hair is super fine and a perfect mix of straight, wavy and curly strands with an equally realistic mix of color shades. I am absolutely thrilled!"
— Simone J. (5/5)
Storyville
"I really like Ellen Wille’s curly hairstyles. I own this one as well as Jamila, and they are absolutely adorable. Very comfortable to wear and realistic. I get so many compliments when I wear them. The wigs are not heavy either very light feeling on your head."
— Neila (4/5)
My Covid Hair
"I really like this wig. It feels and looks great! Friends and family don't realize it's not my hair (which has pretty much fallen out in the last few months). When they complement me I tell them it is my Covid Hair. Only draw back is that it tangles and has to be picked out daily."
— Susan S. (4/5)
Storyville wig
"Beautiful wig. Fast delivery. When called was told to look at youtube video which was helpful but did not answer my question regarding thickness on the top, etc. Still plan to buy from them again."

I had wanted this wig
"I had wanted this wig for a long time. I got it in rooted chocolate. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. I parted it in the middle and it looks great. I have a niece with naturally curly hair. I said look, I finally have what you have. I absolutely love it!"
— Kathy A. (5/5)
Sensational!
"I can hardly express just how fabulous the Storyville wig is. I started wearing wigs in November 2021 because my hair looked terrible after two years of cutting and coloring it myself due to covid. I have found that Jamila Plus and Storyville are both very close to my natural hair -- on the best possible hair days. I have gotten loads of compliments on both, including from my ex-husband, which was truly astonishing. Today at a zoom work meeting, a colleague said that she is obsessed with my hair (I was wearing Storyville) and the whole team chimed in, telling me how gorgeous and fabulous I look. I am 63 and I think I look better now than ever before, thanks to these wigs!"
— Norma O. (5/5)
She’s a beauty!
"Storyville is gorgeous! I just didn’t like color on me. As I’m new to wigs, I’m still learning about the colors, but Wig Studio was super fast in refunding me. I was very impressed. I have already ordered again as I’m not worried about them tying up my money!"
— Heidi U. (5/5)
