The wonderful and sometimes deeply mystifying world of gadgets occasionally throws up a real gem. You know, the kind of product that has you scratching your head and thinking, "Who the hell thought that one up?" This wig purifier — "cleaning hair with ozone air" — can only have been thought up by someone who was scratching his hairpiece and had him- (or her-) self a Eureka moment.

Throw your 'piece in the $367 cabinet and watch while particles of ozone enter the chamber, permeating your wig, disinfecting it and rendering it whiff-free. I wonder if this would work on my dog when we get home from a five-mile run. Actually, I wonder if it would work on me. Well, it might do if I were 12 inches wide and 20 inches tall.

There's quality in that thar wig purifier, let me tell you. Faux walnut exterior, cream suede interior, brass trim, and you can throw just about anything hair-related into it. "Extension's, toupee's, wiglet's, hairnets, hairwrap's, headbands and bandana's," (sic) reads the blurb. I wonder if it cleans apostrophes as well? There's a product video for you to feast your eyes on after the jump.
