When would be businessman Shaun Pulfrey appeared on the popular ‘Dragon’s Den’ TV show, where those with business ideas attempt to secure finance from a group of successful business people, he was sure his idea would hit the spot. However, his innovative hair detangler was rejected out of hand by the Dragons and he walked away empty handed. But he has had the last laugh!

This is on top of substantial internet sales which have seen turnover reach £800,000 creating a profit of some £200,000.
