Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wig case. The wig case includes a wig support unit having a C-shaped elastic band, and a main body having upper and lower case parts. The wig support unit is in close contact with an inner surface of a wig, while long and short locking protrusions of the wig support unit pass through the wig, thus preventing undesirable movement of the wig. Further, the long and short locking protrusions are fitted into corresponding locking recesses which are provided on both sides of a lower jaw of the lower case part, thus preventing undesirable movement of the wig support unit that supports the wig. The wig case of this invention is capable of storing the wig in the upper and lower case parts so that the wig is not compressed, and prevents movement of the wig during the storage and transport of the wig stored in the wig case, thus preventing the wig from being compressed or deformed, in addition to preventing the hairstyle of the wig from being disordered.
