Wig Purifier uses ozone power to clean your hair piece

wig-purifier-3_YYq3u_48.jpg

The Wig Purifier is an airtight tube that you can stick your wig in at the end of the day for automatic sterilization and deodorization. Apparently it uses ozone air to work its magic--ten minutes in the faux-suede Purifier will give you a fresh head. It's $367. Check out the cheesy promo video below. [Product page via Born Rich]

I just got one, but when i opened the box, Stephen Hawking's head yelled at me to turn the lights back out.

What's "cheesy" about the video? Do you think a snarky comment covers up the fact that you have nothing to say?

FYI.. According to the EPA, products that generate ozone are harmful.. http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

Just make sure you shake the wig off any trapped ozone before wearing it.

Offtopic: this new site design sucks, imho.

FYI: According to the EPA, products that are sold as "air cleaners" that produce ozone can be harmful.
Correct me if Im misreading this but it seems that the wig purifier claims to clean hairpieces in an enclosed box?

Whoever invented that 'product' sure spent too much time under the ozone layer for sure.

Typical. Try to scare the shit out of them so they'll buy your product.

It's a little creepy looking. Wonder if you could retrofit an air purifier with a terrarium and get the same effect.

oh, but how much is the shipping? if it's more than $15 I'll have to rethink the $367 to clean my nasty fake hair.

Actually this isn't a bad product (assuming its not dangerous for the environment). When my mom was on chemo this was a big concern--how to clean wigs. Because her immune system couldn't fight anything off at the time.

No where near as creepy as ants wandering around with maggots for brains. I suppose you have to need to wear a wig to really appreciate this thing.

My dad is a retired electrician. He told us that if we smelled ozone, we were told to RUN and get help, or use an electrical fire extinguisher if we could. Many years later, my boss got an ozone air cleaner because his partner smoked. I was always sick in that office. Now I know why! Since the extra oxygen atom in ozone can attach to other elements, we get "oxidation". Anything from rust to cancer is caused by oxidation. Think about it.

Now I will spend too much time trying to figure what else I could put in it to clean so to get my money's worth.

Sounds to me like Sam up there bought two based on the video, which is definitely cheesy! BTW, my Nana wore a wig for most of her life, and smoked, with a brood of hacking and coughing grandkids, while teaching kindergarten; and she lived to the age of 93. Probably traditional wig cleaning methods are sufficient...
