Extended Reach Hairbrush
Purpose
FOP Community Member Kathy created this extended reach hairbrush because she wanted to brush her hair independently. She says, ” this was the most perfect tool and I’ve never been able to recreate it adequately with new hair brushes. The hair brushes utilized in this project have become unable to be switched out.” The dual brushes help with stability and functionality.
How to make
Items needed: Two Hairbrushes, Metal Hanger, Duct Tape, Rubber Extender
- Unravel a wire hanger
- Feed it through the rubber extender
- Bend to your desired angle
- Find hair brushes that fit the openings
- Utilize duct tape if needed for support
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.
