Which entrepreneur pitched the Tangle Teezer hairbrush on Dragons' Den?
Answer
Shaun Pulfrey
Answer
Shaun Pulfrey
Shaun Pulfrey pitched the Tangle Teezer hairbrush on Dragons' Den.
Pulfrey developed the Tangle Teezer as a detangling hairbrush designed to reduce pulling and breakage. The product came from his experience as a hairdresser and from his belief that conventional brushes could make tangled hair more difficult to manage.
His appearance on Dragons' Den became part of the product's business story. Although the pitch did not immediately produce the kind of investment outcome viewers might expect, Pulfrey continued developing and selling the product. Tangle Teezer later became an international beauty brand.
The product is sometimes confused with other successful inventions seen on the programme, especially because several entrepreneurs used television exposure to build businesses after appearing. The identifying pair is Shaun Pulfrey and Tangle Teezer: Pulfrey was the inventor and entrepreneur behind the brush.
