Best Answer

It may have been the Paul Mitchell companies of hair products.

But---There is much evidence to suggest that straightening combs, hot irons were available as far back as 1872. And it was around this time a person called Marcel Grateau (a Parisian) who started using heated rods to straighten hair. This tool helped straighten the hair and caused less damage than other hair straightening techniques AnswerIt was invented by Madame C.J Walker. Answer

Madame C.J Walker made a straightening product - which was like a type of oil/cream, but Garrett Morgan created the first flat iron hair straightener
