Did Madam C J Walker invent the hair relaxer?

No, Madam C. J. Walker did not invent hair relaxer and did not sell any products with chemical hair relaxers. She also did not invent the straightening comb. There were chemical hair relaxers being used and being sold before she founded the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company in 1906. Hot combs were sold by Sears and Bloomingdales as early as 1890. Madam Walker developed a line of hair care products for African American women and a system of hair and scalp care that she called "beauty culture." Like her contemporaries Elizabeth Arden, Helena Rubinstein and Annie Malone, she was a pioneer of the modern cosmetics and hair care industries.


Did madam Cj walker invent the hot comb?

Yes, she did. She was 34 and then she was awarded a prize 4 this wonderful accomplishment. The previous answer is not accurate. Madam Walker was still working as a washerwoman when she was when she was 34 years old. She started selling hair care products around 1904 when she was 37 years old and founded her own company in 1906. She purchased hot combs manufactured by other vendors and did not make hot combs. She also did not invent them. Source: On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker by A'Lelia Bundles

What were the ingredients in Madam C J Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower?

--Went on the official site and the ingredients for her original formula (NOW known as 'Madame Walker’s Hair and Scalp Preparation') is the following:Ingredients: Petrolatum, Copper Sulfate, Precipitated Sulfur, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Fragrance.Also, according to that website (www.madamewalker.net/Home/WalkerPetrolatumBasedProducts/tabid/566/Default.aspx), they claim that petrolatum is not only good for the hair and scalp, but does NOT clog the pores or the scalp or face. Cannot attest to this claim, but I am willing to try it to see if it works.


How did Madam C J Walker becom ethe first female African American millionaire?

Madam C. J. Walker has been listed in some editions of the Guinness Book of World Records as the first American woman to garner a million dollars in assets. While other American women earlier had become millionaires, they either married wealthy men or inherited wealth from their fathers. There were a few African American men who became millionaires during the late 1900s through real estate investments and insurance companies. She founded her hair care company in 1906 and was a pioneer of the modern hair care and cosmetics industry along with women like Helena Rubinstein, Annie Malone and Elizabeth Arden. She amassed her fortune through the sales of her hair care products and through wise investments in New York real estate in Harlem, on Central Park West in Manhattan and in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York.

Did madam cj walker invent the perm?

Answer #3: No Madam C. J. Walker did not invent the perm or the straightening comb. This is a myth. Answer #1: yes Mrs. madam cj walker did invent the perm she invented lots more stuff to like the straiting comb and flat iron. Answer #2: No Madam C. J. Walker did not invent the perm. Infact, she did not like the use of chemical hair straighteners. Her main products were her vegetable shampoo, her "wonderful hair grower" (which contained sulphur and was used to heal dandruff and scalp disease) and glossine (which softened the hair and made it easier to comb). Other inventors developed chemical hair straighteners as early as the 1850s long before Madam Walker was born. An African American man named Garrett Morgan was one of the many people who experimented with chemical hair straighteners during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Did Madam C J Walker invent the wonderful hair grower?

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.
