What Happened to Tangle Teezer After Dragons’ Den?

Tangle Teezer appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 3. The business was a detangling, blow-drying and styling hairbrushes. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Shaun Pulfrey walked into the Den in 2007 with a detangling, blow-drying and styling hairbrushes. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Shaun Pulfrey left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Tangle Teezer is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2007, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Tangle Teezer Still in Business?

Yes. Tangle Teezer appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
