Who created Tangle Teezer before pitching the product on Dragon's Den?

Shaun Pulfrey created Tangle Teezer before pitching the product on Dragon's Den.

Pulfrey was a hairstylist who developed a brush intended to remove tangles while reducing the pulling and discomfort associated with some conventional brushes. His professional experience helped identify the practical problem and shaped the product's design.

He took the business to Dragon's Den, where Deborah Meaden invested. The television appearance became an important stage in the company's public story, but the product's development began with Pulfrey's own work on the brush concept and its construction.

Tangle Teezer should not be confused with later celebrity-led hairbrush brands or with Tom Pellereau, another inventor whose products appeared on the programme. The requested answer is the named creator of Tangle Teezer, not the investor who helped finance its expansion.
