Germana project

The challenge

Our project is essential to enable individuals with the ability to move only one hand to gather their hair independently.

Who it helps

Our project is designed specifically for individuals with disabilities who can only use one hand.

How it works

Our solution addresses the challenge because gathering hair and stretching a hair tie are essential actions for tying up hair, which cannot be performed with the use of only one hand.

The solution we offer is a device that meets two needs: gathering the hair and stretching the hair tie.
