Ready-to-Ship vs. Made-to-Order Wigs: Which One Is Best for You?
In today’s fast-moving world, convenience meets customization in the most glamorous way possible—through the world of wigs. At MellowDiamond, we offer both Ready-to-Ship wigs and Made-to-Order custom wigs to suit your unique style, needs, and schedule. But the question remains: which one is best for you?
Let’s break it all down—features, benefits, and the key differences—so you can confidently choose the right crown for your lifestyle.
What Are Ready-to-Ship Wigs?
Ready-to-Ship (RTS) wigs are exactly what the name suggests—premium human hair wigs that are pre-made and ready to be shipped out immediately after your order is placed. These wigs come in popular textures, lengths, and styles that have been carefully curated based on customer favorites and trending looks.
Pros of Ready-to-Ship Wigs:
-
Fast Delivery: No waiting around for production. Once your order is placed, it's shipped out quickly—ideal for last-minute events or emergencies.
-
No Guesswork: What you see is what you get. The wig is pre-styled and photographed, so there’s no mystery.
-
Great for Beginners: Easy-to-install and often glueless, making them perfect for first-time wig wearers.
-
Budget-Friendly Options: Because they are produced in batches, RTS wigs are often more affordable than fully custom wigs.
Best For:
-
Last-minute glam looks
-
Special events or vacations
-
Beginners looking for ease and speed
-
Budget-conscious shoppers

What Are Made-to-Order Wigs?
Made-to-Order (MTO) wigs are custom-crafted based on your specific preferences. From the cap size to the density, lace type, length, texture, and even the hairline customization—everything is built to suit you.

Tailored Fit: Custom measurements ensure the wig hugs your scalp perfectly—no gaps, no tightness.
-
Personalized Styling: Choose your texture, color, density, lace type, and more.
-
Realistic Appearance: Options like bleached knots, pre-plucked hairlines, and HD lace make for an ultra-natural finish.
-
Long-Term Satisfaction: Built exactly how you want it, so you’re more likely to love and wear it longer.
