Surgical Mask Head Band with Hair Comb

Since there's been an uptick in people wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, this might offer some comfort to those who wear them frequently. I've added a new file that features a slot for a bobby pin and a slightly longer comb to keep it securely in place. Based on feedback, I would recommend using the Bobby Pin file. It's a protective clip designed to shield your ears while wearing a surgical mask regularly or for extended periods. The comb allows you to store the clip discreetly in your hair when not wearing a mask, making it easier to put the mask onto the clip while it's on your head. You can wear it with a ponytail, bun, braid, and probably some other untested hairstyles too. It is specifically designed for individuals with longer hair. The wider clips enable the mask bands to fit comfortably around the ears. It can be molded to match your head or used flat, but they work much better when formed. There are two sizes available: Regular and Large. Regular: The regular size should fit surgical masks as the elastic is very stretchy in them. The regular size is also ideal for keeping it in your hair while on shift. This size will likely fit most printers as well. Large: This is designed for masks with tighter elastics, like homemade masks. It won't stay in place without a mask and may not fit on as many printers (turning at a 45-degree angle on the bed might make it fit).
