Madam C. J. Walker, who lived from 1867 to 1919, did not invent
the relaxer. She thought the kinds of chemicals used in relaxers
damaged the hair. There were chemical relaxers for sale long before
she went into business in 1906. One of the people who developed a
formula for a relaxer is black inventor Garrett Morgan.
