5 Questions to Ask Before Ordering a Custom Wig

Ordering a custom wig is one of the best ways to achieve a flawless, tailored look that fits you—your texture, your lifestyle, and your aesthetic. But let’s be real: custom orders are an investment. At MellowDiamond, we want you to feel 100% confident before clicking “Add to Cart.”

Here are the top 5 questions you should ask before placing your custom wig order, so you get exactly what you’re looking for—with no surprises.

1. What Hair Texture Best Matches My Natural Hair or Style Goals?

Choosing the right texture is crucial—whether you want to mimic your own hair or experiment with something new.

At MellowDiamond, our textures range from:

Straight or Yaki (mimics relaxed or blown-out hair)
Wavy or Curly (for a more romantic, soft look)
Kinky or Coily (ideal for natural hair wearers or those who love volume)

🔍 Pro Tip: Match your hybrid hairline (4A, 4B, or 4C) to your texture for the most realistic finish.

2. What Length and Density Will Work Best for Me?

Length affects more than just looks—it also influences maintenance and comfort. Do you want something long and dramatic or short and easy?

Short (8"-12") = Light, low-maintenance, and perfect for beginners
Medium (14"-20") = The best of both worlds: volume + versatility
Long (22"+) = Show-stopping glam, but requires more care

As for density:

150% = Natural and breathable
200% = Full-bodied and bold (our most popular option!)

3. What Lace Type Do I Need for My Lifestyle?

Lace type determines styling flexibility and realism. Ask yourself how you plan to wear your wig day-to-day.

HD 6x6 Closure: Great for middle parts and minimal maintenance
HD 13x6 Lace Front: More parting space and styling options
Full Lace: Most versatile but requires more experience and care

If you’re new to lace or want something fast and easy, closure or lace front styles are your best bet.

4. How Will This Wig Fit My Head?

Cap size is one of the most overlooked factors in ordering a custom wig—but it shouldn’t be.

At MellowDiamond, we offer:

Small (21.5")
Medium (22.5")
Large (23.5")

Don’t guess—measure your head using a soft tape measure and refer to our sizing guide before ordering. A perfect fit = no slipping and all-day comfort.

5. Do I Need a Hybrid Hairline?

If you're looking for next-level realism, the hybrid hairline is the move.

Features hand-tied 4A–4C textured edges
Blends flawlessly with textured natural hair
No need to lay or hide edges—it looks like your own

It’s ideal for those who want the “is that her hair?” effect. If you wear your hair back or want zero lace stress, the hybrid is a must.
