Abstract

Abstract A portable wig case for storing, protecting and transporting wigs, wiglets or other hairpieces which also serves as a support for the wig during certain hairdressing operations such as combing and spraying. The case is a normally closed compartment with openable closure, such as a small door thereon, which may have an elastic pocket therein. A sliding shelf mounted within the case may be pulled by hand to an extended position outside the case and the shelf has a small protruding pin thereon which is removably inserted in the bottom of styrofoam plastic head form on which the wig is supported in fashion much like that when it is worn on the head. Elastic holddowns keep the plastic form in place on the pin when traveling and may be stretched out of the way so that the form may be removed. A modification for a smaller hairpiece such as a wiglet includes a different sort of base removably mounted on the pin on the shelf and a smaller form which is held in place by an elastic stretch band encircling the top.
