Hair straightening using a hot comb or relaxer has a long history among women & men of African descent, reflected in the huge commercial success of the straightening comb popularized by Madam C. J. Walker in the early 1900s.
What year did madam c j walker invent a perm?
yes she did she also was first black millionaire woman Answer #2: Madam Walker did not invent a perm and did not sell chemical hair straighteners. Garrett Morgan, an African American man, was among the dozens of people who experimented with and developed chemical perms in the early 1900s. Many of the modern day perms that are used today grew out of the chemical hair straighteners that created from potatoes and lye and that had been made popular by black male entertainers during the 1940s.
