The Sleep Styler

The Sleep Styler is a hair-care product: soft fabric rollers that go into damp hair before bed, so the hair dries and holds a style overnight without a blow dryer or curling iron. It was invented by Tara Brown, an eye doctor from San Diego, who launched it through a crowdfunding campaign. Brown appeared in Season 8, Episode 19, seeking $75,000 in return for a 20% stake. Lori Greiner saw it as a fit for her shopping-channel work, and after a quick negotiation the two agreed to $75,000 for 25%. NBC 7 San Diego and a recap by The Comeback both reported those terms. The idea appeals to people who want to cut down on heat styling, and that benefit was central to the pitch. It is not clear what happened with the investment after taping. We have not found a source confirming whether the deal closed. The rollers remain on sale, but Amazon's listing names Allstar Innovations as the brand, and the old product website is nearly empty. The current owner and operator are not confirmed. This page lists the status as unknown until that can be verified. Lifetime sales numbers circulate on fan sites but are not confirmed and are left out here. The crowdfunding details and the on-air negotiation are covered in the update below.
