BFJ Tech aims to bridge this gap with the launch of the Adaptive Paddle Brush, a unique hair tool designed specifically for people who have difficulty using their hands. The device features a durable paddle brush to detangle hair with a lightweight curved aluminum rod and adjustable Velcro straps to assist with hand grip.

The extra-long handle makes it easy to brush your hair without moving your shoulder or lifting your upper arm. The Unique long-handled comb and brush set offers greater independence for those with limited dexterity or arthritis.
