This long handled comb is the Etac Beauty comb in its longer 37 cm version, made for people who cannot raise an arm far enough to comb the top or back of the head. The comb is curved so that it reaches over the head while the elbow stays low, which reduces the shoulder movement needed, and the handle is oval with a non-slip surface so that it stays put in a hand with reduced strength or sensation. The comb weighs 90 g and is moulded in polypropylene with TPE, so it is easy to wipe over and keep clean. Etac offers the range in two lengths and recommends this longer version where the user can reach only as far as the shoulder, with a 30 cm version for those who can reach up to the ear.

Being able to comb one's own hair matters to how presentable a person feels, and the extra length makes that possible without an assistant or an awkward shoulder movement. The light 90 g body and the non-slip oval handle mean the comb can be held and controlled with a weak grip, and the moulded plastic needs no particular care to keep clean.
