In British Dragons' Den, which entrepreneur invented the Tangle Teezer hairbrush?

Shaun Pulfrey invented the Tangle Teezer hairbrush, which he presented on British Dragons' Den.

Pulfrey was a professional hair colourist and developed the product to detangle hair with less pulling than conventional brushes. The design uses flexible teeth arranged to move through knots, making it especially associated with wet or difficult-to-comb hair.

He appeared on Dragons' Den seeking investment, but the televised pitch did not produce a deal. The business nevertheless went on to grow substantially, showing why an appearance on the programme is not the only measure of a product’s eventual commercial success.

Tangle Teezer is sometimes confused with products created by contestants who did secure investment. Shaun Pulfrey is the specific inventor linked to the original Tangle Teezer concept and brand.
