Learn the history on our best-selling trends: 

Bobs: The origins of the Bob date back to the 1920’s as a symbol of rebellion and modernity. It embodied independence and broke away from traditional feminine norms, popularized with the sleek, chin length cut like styles Lia II and Sing.  Short hair on women was groundbreaking! The bob evolved to include softer, wavy versions and were longer and more elegant such as styles like Girl Mono and Esprit. Today the bob remains supreme with its versatile styling options. It flatters nearly all face shapes and has an enduring appeal because it can easily be adapted for casual or formal settings.  See which of your favorite Ellen Wille bobs made it on the top 10 best-selling styles of 2024! 

Shags: The shag emerged in the late 1960’s as once again, a rebellious response to the polished, controlled hairstyles of earlier times. The shag features layers, choppy ends, and plenty of volume which gives it an edgy, laid-back, and carefree style. The shag became a unisex style and was adopted by musicians, making its popularity soar. The style now has numerous revivals with modern versions featuring soft layers, curtain bangs, and a more blended look like the style Relax. Check out the top two selling shags of 2024 from the Ellen Wille collection!

Pixies: The pixie is a bold, ultra-short hairstyle that gained popularity in the 1950’s thanks to celebrities like Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow and Twiggy. The style exuded confidence and challenged that short hair couldn't be elegant and feminine. Our top selling pixie Tab is a perfect example of this.  Pixies became the statement of youthfulness and a nod to the minimalist aesthetic. Today, the pixie cut is celebrated for its bold versatility with variations that include asymmetric cuts, undercuts, and longer bangs like our style Cover.
