The care element is arranged at the second portion. The flexible portion is integrally formed with the first portion and the second portion. The flexible portion is formed by a compressible wall portion. The compressible wall portion defines a hollow space and has a through-hole and is compressible along the longitudinal direction of the care head body such that in use the second portion is reversibly bendable relative to the first portion.
