Answer #2: No, Madam C. J. Walker did not manufacture or invent the straightening comb. The first widely distributed metal hair care implements were designed by a Frenchman named Marcel Grateau, who is said to have created the Marcel Wave in the 1870s when Madam Walker was still a child named Sarah Breedlove. Hot combs were sold in Bloomingdales and Sears catalogues in the 1890s. Over time, several different inventors developed different designs for hot combs and other hair care devices. They continue to develop electric irons to this day. Madam Walker sold straightening combs to her agents but she purchased them from at least two different suppliers. She did not make them herself.

Answer #1: Yes she did. Walter Simmons patented an improved design in 1920; a year after the death of Mme Walker.

Are the expensive Curling Irons better than the cheap ones?

In my opinion, curling irons ARE NOT better than curlers and here's why: Curling irons burn and damage your hair over time. Split ends and duller hair color will be a consequence of using curling irons-unless you want to invest in heat protecting serums (and even then, they can make your hair greasy and not completely protect your hair) Curling Irons burn! if they touch your scalp or ears, say goodbye to those skin cells and hello to a burned part that will be sore for a while! Even if you use hairspray, your curls might fall out (especially if your hair does not take to being curled) Curlers are much better (especially if your hair doesn't naturally take to curling) because they can be put in overnight while you sleep. To do this, I recommend the softer curlers.
