Tangle Teezer is the name of the British hairbrush company whose founder pitched the product on Dragon's Den.
The company was founded by Shaun Pulfrey, a British hairdresser and inventor. His design used flexible teeth intended to separate tangled hair while reducing pulling, making the product distinct from many traditional rigid brushes.
Pulfrey appeared on Dragon's Den seeking investment for the business. The product went on to become internationally recognised, and the company expanded from its original detangling brush into several haircare tools and designs.
The company name and the product name are closely linked, which sometimes leads people to describe Tangle Teezer only as a brush. In fact, Tangle Teezer is the brand and company associated with a wider range of detangling products. Its Dragon's Den appearance is an example of a pitch that preceded substantial commercial growth.
