What invention are you speaking of? Madame CJ Walker's most notable invention was the Hot Comb used for hair straightening. Today we have more than enough hair straightening products on the market, but Madame CJ Walker's was the first.

Just as many beauty products, it is used for style, confidence, fun, being different, or following the crowd. Men and women alike now use devices like the blow dryer and curling irons to style their hair.
