Get Holiday-Ready with Ellen Wille's Favorite Toppers of the Season

The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to play with your hair! Whether you’re headed to a festive party, a cozy family dinner, or a glamorous New Year’s Eve event, toppers are your secret weapon for creating show-stopping styles with minimal effort. 

We’ve put together a guide to help you get creative and make your holiday hair fun, full, and totally festive. From adding layers to experimenting with texture, these tips will transform your topper into a styling superstar. 

1. Layered Volume 

Add a topper to create layers that enhance your natural hair or existing style. 



Holiday Tip: Use layers to build soft waves or curls for a romantic, party-ready look. 
Topper Used: Just Long Espresso Mix 
Why it works: Gives your hair depth, fullness, and movement without heavy styling. 

2. Fringe or Bangs 

Want to change up your look without cutting your natural hair? Clip in a topper with a fringe or side-swept bangs. 

Holiday Tip: Pair with updos or half-up styles to frame your face elegantly. 
Topper Used: Fun Dark Chocolate Mix 
Why it works: Instantly refreshes your style and adds a youthful, chic touch. 

3. Temporary Highlights/Color Dimensions 

A topper is a perfect way to play with color! Add subtle or bold highlights for extra dimension. 



Holiday Tip: Go metallic for the holidays—think soft gold, rose gold, silver, or even festive red.  
Topper Used: Couture Dark Chocolate Mix 
Why it works: Gives you the impact of color without touching your natural hair. 

4. Braided Accents 

Braids are a classic way to elevate any holiday hairstyle. Use a topper as a base for crown braids, halo braids, or side braids. 



Holiday Tip: Add a little curl or wave to the topper before braiding for extra volume and texture. 
Suggested Topper: Dream 
Why it works: Creates intricate, eye-catching styles with minimal effort. 

5. Texture Play 

Mix and match textures with your topper for unique holiday looks. Try curly topper pieces on straight hair—or vice versa—for extra flair. 



Holiday Tip: Tousled waves, soft curls, or even a playful messy style adds personality and fun. 
Topper Used: Stream Dark Chocolate Mix 
Why it works: Creates a natural-looking contrast and gives your style instant dimension. 

Pro Tip: 

Combine these techniques for the ultimate holiday style. Layered toppers with a fringe, braids, or temporary highlights can create a festive, head-turning look in just a few minutes!
