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.
