Best Answer

Straighteners were invented because in the early 1600's many women took fashion very seriously. The fur coats and big hats were in, but their hair wasn't really thought much about. They would always keep their hair up tight in a bun since perfection was key back then. It wasn't until late 1650's when women started to notice their hair more and put more pride and effort into it. Mark St. Livken was the first man ever recorded to be the main change for women noticing hair. In the newspaper he stated that all women must wear their hair down with know hat on. He was the mayor so all the women wore their hair down with no hat covering their hair. For years later women wore their hair down. They started to use water to keep there hair straight, but later on during the day it would go curly again. Marrina Scrovenger was the first to develope a chemical for the hair to keep it straight, while that same month William Wukky invented a metal rod used to go through the hair and keep it straight for over 12 hours. This is the start of why straighteners were invented.
