Madam Walker developed a system and regimen of hygiene and conditioning that cleansed her scalp and healed the scalp disease that was so rampant during an era when most Americans did not have indoor Plumbing and electricity. Her first products were a vegetable shampoo and an ointment that contained sulfur, a medicinal agent that healed the sores on her scalp. She called it Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower. It really didn't "grow" hair, but once her scalp was healthier her hair had a better environment in which to grow.
Today such ingredients are considered too heavy by many people, but they were a big improvement on what was available to most women in the early 1900s. Just as cars have improved in the last century, so have hair care products and cosmetics.

∙ 13y agoMadam C. J. Walker did not invent the chemical relaxer. Various forms of chemical relaxers were being used long before she was born in 1867. Some sources say Garrett Morgan, the African American man who invented the first functioning traffic signal and the gas mask, also invented and patented a chemical hair straightener in 1909. . .but even he probably was not the first person to experiment with and develop such a product.
