Apparently, there’s a lot of people who have similar routines when they wake up in the morning with just a few minutes to spare to get their bed heads in order. People like Max Velverde.

Max has had some hectic mornings himself, which prompted him to come up with Morning Head. Basically, it’s a polyurethane cap with a super absorbent cloth lining on the inside. Just pour water into it, put it over your head, rub it around as if you were shampooing, and remove it to reveal a full head of wet hair – in as little as five seconds.

If you’re interested in backing this project, head on over to Kickstarter to do so. Those who make a pledge of at least $10(USD) will be able to get two of these Morning Heads sent their way.

I actually tried to justify to myself this gadget’s dimension-shattering existence, thinking that it might be useful for very young kids or people with special needs, such as amputees. But look at what’s inside the box: battery box, plastic rings, nuts, wire, plastic suction cups, sticky pads, screws, plastic discs with pulley, connecting sleeves, terminal block, screw driver, base plate with guide, motors and detailed instructions. Batteries not included. Tell me, Middlesex University, which would be easier: to ask someone to assemble the motherflipping contraption, or to ask someone to launch a paper plane? Using their built-in hands?

I don’t care if the paper planes it launches move at the speed of light. This is like someone eating your food for you. Someone that you have to purchase for $16 and build. Notice also that the box says “kits created by specialists who teach teachers”, and not “kits created by specialists who create kits”. The second one would have been so much more reassuring.

Kids: remember what happened in WALL*E? Use your limbs. For the sake of humanity.
