Shaun Pulfrey created the hairbrush brand Tangle Teezer after appearing on Dragons' Den.
Pulfrey, a professional hair colourist, developed a brush intended to remove tangles without the pulling associated with ordinary brushes. He presented the idea on Dragons' Den in 2007, but the dragons declined to invest.
The product was later launched commercially as Tangle Teezer and became an international success. Its distinctive flexible teeth and compact designs helped it gain attention in professional salons and consumer beauty retail.
The story is commonly paired with Trunki because both entrepreneurs were rejected by the dragons before building successful companies. They are different products and founders: Rob Law created the ride-on travel case, while Shaun Pulfrey created Tangle Teezer.
