Morninghead Shark Tank Pitch
Max Valverde enjoys showering at night and skipping a morning shower but has found it difficult to fix his bedhead. Max created Morninghead, a cap that can be wetted and used to moisten one's hair in a contained environment for easy hair cleanup.
Morninghead has been in business for 18 months and has done $36k in sales. Max hopes to roll out a subscription plan. Max is a mechanical engineer for his day job and has many inventions on his mind.
The sharks all think Morninghead is a gimmick with minimal potential, and Max should try pursuing one of his other ideas. All sharks go out.

Morninghead After Shark Tank
Max Valverde did an interview with Shark Tank Blog in 2014. Max said he found an existing product meant for hospital use and reached out to the patent holder, whom he received the rights to sell the product as a bedhead solution. Then Max raised $6k in a Kickstarter campaign, which was promising for Max and caught the eye of Shark Tank producers.

Morninghead's last post on their Twitter, @TheMorninghead , came in 2014, but they are active on Facebook as of 2023. Morninghead's website, morninghead.com , is simply a display site, which directs orders to Amazon as of 2023. It appears to have minimal sales, perhaps with gimmick gifts being the target audience.
