To celebrate Black History Month, I have decided to dedicate various post to women and maybe a couple of men who have stamped their name in the beauty and fashion industry.

The name that is at the top of most list, including my own, of these incredible people is Madame C.J Walker. Madame Walker is known for numerous accomplishments such as a human rights activist, but most importantly by becoming the first black female to become a self-made millionaire.

Way before Oprah Winfrey, there was Madame CJ Walker. She became a millionaire by making and selling her own hair care products. The first product that got her name out there was 'Madame Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower', which was a scalp conditioner and healing formula.

I could go on and on about the path she has paved for African American hair care, that is before it started being outsourced, but I will let you find out more for yourself!

To find out more about her legacy and products, visit The Official Website of Madame C.J Walker.

Stay Stylish!
