Which Dragon's Den investor backed Tangle Teezer?
Answer
None of them
None of the Dragon's Den investors backed Tangle Teezer after Shaun Pulfrey's pitch.
Pulfrey presented the detangling hairbrush to the Dragons, but the programme did not result in an investment deal. He continued developing the business independently rather than relying on a Dragon's capital or retail network.
Tangle Teezer later achieved substantial commercial success and became a widely recognised haircare brand. Its trajectory is frequently remembered because it demonstrates that rejection in the Den is not a reliable prediction of a product's eventual performance.
This question has a deliberately precise answer: no Dragon invested. It should not be confused with other hair and beauty pitches that did secure backing, or with the later success of Tangle Teezer, which can make viewers assume a televised deal must have occurred.
