What year did madam cj's parents die?

Answer #2: The exact date and cause of death for Madam Walker's parents, Owen Breedlove and Minerva Anderson Breedlove, is not known. Walker's biographer, A'Lelia Bundles, discovered documents in her research for On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker, that caused her to believe that Minerva Breedlove died around 1873 because Owen Breedlove remarried that year. Because Madam Walker always said that her parents were both dead before she turned eight years old, it is believed that Owen died around 1874 since Madam Walker, who was born in December 1867 turned seven years old in December 1874. Answer #1: 1846 (this is not correct)


Did madam cj walker make the curling irons?

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.

When did madam walker invent the walker system of hair care?

First of all let's clarify a few misconceptions about Madame Walker. Madame C.J. Walker did not invent the pressing comb nor did she sell or invent chemical straighteners. In fact, Madame Walker resented being called a hair straightener. Per her own words, she started the "Hair Growing Business" founded upon a very simple theory of scalp maintenance. In an interview given to the Indianapolis Recorder, Madame Walker was quoted as saying the following: "Right here let me correct the erroneous impression that I claim to straighten hair. I deplore such impression because I have always held myself out as a hair culturist. I grow hair...I want the great masses of my people to take a greater pride in their personal appearance and to give their hair proper attention." As can be readily observed, Madame Walker was not focused with making hair straight; she was focused on making hair grow! The false rumor that Madame Walker invented the pressing comb has been disseminated throughout the year so much so until it have become her signature accomplishment when if fact it is a false rumor -probably initially spread by her competitors in a feeble attempt to distort her products' original purpose. Unfortunately as we all know, when a lie is repeated over and over it is eventually mistaken as the truth. Now as for her "hair growing system", the historical documents of the manufacturing company she founded indicated that she began sell her hair products door to door in 1900. She officially incorporated her business in 1911 in Indianapolis, In. The Original Madame C.J. Walker Hair Care products are still being manufactured and sold today.
