The Longhairs is a company that makes hair-ties for men. The two long-haired entrepreneurs behind the brand, Lindsay Barto and Chris Healy of San Diego, California, pitched their business on Shark Tank in January 2018. They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $95,000 in exchange for 10 percent equity. During their pitch, they managed to get all the male Sharks – Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, Kevin O’Leary and Daymond John — to wear hilarious longhair wigs. They made a deal with Mark Cuban — $100,000 in exchange for 20 percent equity.
Since Shark Tank, The Longhairs have asked customers to vote on their latest designs and the guys have returned to their podcast. In the most recent podcast (July 16), they talk about developing The Longhairs shampoo and conditioner. They’re also working on breaking the Guinness World Record for most hair donated to charity in a 24-hour period. They plan to break the record in the spring of 2019. The current record is 181 lbs. of hair (2015). Good luck, Longhair Dudes! [Related: 27 Favorite Shark Tank Products — New List]
