Curved and Extended Hairbrush
Purpose
FOP Community Member Julieta Sanchez Lopez “Juli” created this extendable and curved hairbrush to help her brush her hair more independently. She had to create multiple versions before she was able to make a tool that met her needs. She says, “I can’t lift my arms so this tool helps me brush my hair.:
How to make

This tool was created as part of the 2025 Ability Toolbox Homemade Tools Contest. More information about the contest can be found on the IFOPA Webpage. The IFOPA would like to thank The Radiant Hope Foundation for their generous financial support of this program.
