Why did madam cj walker invent hair products?
Madam C. J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove in Delta, Louisiana in 1867, developed a line of hair care products for black women in 1906 as a way to heal her own scalp disease and to give herself more hairstyling options. Her products eventually were sold all over the United States, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe and Africa. She trained thousands of sales agents and women she called “beauty culturists” in her beauty schools, which she named Lelia College after her only daughter A’Lelia Walker. Although she was very poor and orphaned at age seven, she had become a millionaire, a philanthropist and a political activist by the time she died in May 1919.
