From Box to Beautiful: Style Your Ready-to-Wear Wig in Just Minutes

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of unboxing a brand-new wig. At Mellow Diamond, our Ready-to-Wear Collection is designed to make that moment even more magical — because your unit arrives pre-styled, pre-plucked, with bleached knots and HD lace. In other words: you don’t need hours of preparation or a professional stylist. With just a few simple steps, your wig can go from box to beautiful in minutes.

Whether you’re new to wigs or a seasoned pro, this guide will show you how to style your Ready-to-Ship (RTS) unit straight out of the box. Think of it as your step-by-step cheat sheet to flawless hair without the stress.


1. What Makes a Ready-to-Wear Wig Special?

Unlike traditional wigs that require extensive customization before wearing, Mellow Diamond’s Ready-to-Wear wigs are crafted to save you time without compromising on quality.

Key Features of Our Ready-to-Wear Wigs:

  • 100% Virgin Human Hair – Soft, tangle-free, long-lasting.
  • Pre-Bleached Knots – Natural scalp illusion with no extra work.
  • Pre-Plucked Hairline – Mimics natural growth patterns.
  • HD Lace – Practically invisible, melts seamlessly into skin.
  • Glueless Design – Adjustable band & combs for secure fit.
  • Pre-Styled Texture – From kinky curls to sleek bobs, your wig is photo-ready.

This means that whether you ordered a Kinky Bang Honey RTS, a Dime Bob Textured RTS, or a Berry Bang Afro Wig, you can enjoy instant beauty with very little effort.


2. Unboxing Your Wig: The First Things to Do

When your Mellow Diamond RTS unit arrives, here’s what to do before styling:

  • Carefully Remove from Packaging – Don’t tug or pull; gently lift the wig out.
  • Shake It Out – Give the unit a soft shake to let the hair fall naturally.
  • Examine the Lace – Notice how thin and undetectable it is — that’s HD quality.
  • Adjust the Straps & Combs – Customize the fit before placing it on your head.
  • Try It On Dry First – Always test the fit before styling.

👉 Pro Tip: Use a wig stand or mannequin head while prepping — it makes styling much easier and keeps your unit in perfect condition.


3. Preparing Your Natural Hair for the Wig

A wig is only as seamless as the foundation underneath. Prepping your natural hair properly ensures a flat, natural finish.

  • For short hair: Brush down and use a wig cap.
  • For medium to long hair: Braid down into cornrows or twist flat, then secure with a wig cap.
  • Protective step: Apply a lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner before braiding to keep your natural hair healthy under the wig.

👉 Remember: Our wigs are meant for protective styling, so the better you prep, the longer both your natural hair and your wig will last.


4. Step-by-Step: How to Style Your Ready-to-Wear Wig

Now comes the fun part! Here’s a quick guide to taking your wig from box to beautiful in just minutes.

Step 1: Place the Wig On Your Head

  • Secure it with the combs and adjustable band.
  • Position the lace along your natural hairline.

Step 2: Cut the Lace (First Time Only)

  • Use sharp scissors and cut in small zig-zag motions (not straight lines) for a natural finish.
  • Leave a tiny bit of lace instead of cutting too close.

Step 3: Decide If You Want Glue or Glueless

  • Glueless Method: Just use the built-in band & combs. Perfect for quick installs.
  • Glue/Adhesive Method: Apply adhesive or gel along the hairline for a longer hold.

Step 4: Style the Hairline (Optional)

  • Hybrid wigs come with textured baby hairs — lay them down with edge control.
  • Non-hybrid wigs give a sleek, clean edge without extra work.
  • Closures don’t need much — just define the part with a rat-tail comb.

Step 5: Fluff & Define Your Style

  • Curly/Kinky textures: Spray lightly with water and define curls with mousse.
  • Straight textures: Flat iron for a silky, polished finish.
  • Wavy textures: Use a diffuser or scrunch for natural waves.

And just like that — you’re ready to go.


5. Styling Different Textures in Minutes

Each wig in our Ready-to-Wear Collection has its own vibe. Here’s how to bring out the best in them:

  • Curly (e.g., Kinky Bang Honey RTS): Use curl cream or mousse to define ringlets. Finger-coil sections for a bouncy finish.
  • Kinky (e.g., Berry Bang Afro RTS): Fluff with a wide-tooth comb for volume, or use gel to shape edges.
  • Straight (e.g., Kimmy RTS): Run a flat iron through for a sleek, runway look.
  • Wavy (e.g., Bali RTS): Lightly mist with water and scrunch for beachy waves.
  • Bob Cuts (e.g., Dime Bob Textured RTS): Blow-dry with a round brush to keep the ends sharp and polished.

6. Quick Fixes for Common Wig Concerns

  • Shine Too High? Dab baby powder or dry shampoo to tone down unnatural shine.
  • Frizz? Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner spray.
  • Lace Not Blending? Apply a little foundation or lace tint that matches your skin.
  • Wig Feeling Loose? Tighten adjustable straps or use a wig grip.

7. How to Maintain Your Wig After Styling

The beauty of RTS wigs is that they’re ready to go, but proper care ensures they stay flawless.

  • Store on a mannequin head to keep shape.
  • Wash every 7–10 wears with sulfate-free shampoo.
  • Always detangle gently from ends to roots.
  • Keep away from heavy oils — they weigh down the hair.

8. Why Choose a Mellow Diamond Ready-to-Wear Wig?
