“Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture is taking what Madam Walker envisioned more than 100 years ago to a fresh, new level with products and formulas I believe she might have imagined for the 21st century…In one of her last speeches, Madam Walker emphasized the importance of healthy hair – whether curly-kinky, straight, wavy, or in-between – each style beautiful in its own uniqueness. With this line, every woman can have healthier hair while also confidently expressing her beauty in the best way possible – hers.” said A’Lelia Bundles, great-great granddaughter of Madam C.J. Walker and official Madam C.J. Walker historian and biographer.
Remember the first Black Woman to become a self-made millionaire? Remember her—the first Black American to make a sizable, monetary donation to building a YMCA in Indianapolis, Indiana? Yes, you remember. You certainly remember Madame C. J. Walker. The black woman who, after suffering from a skin illness that attacked her scalp, created her own line of hair care products that catered to Black women’s hair. I know, I’m sure you’re wondering why these facts are even worth mentioning (besides, or course, that Madame C. J. Walker is the epitome of Black Excellence). Well, her products are making a come back in the hair care industry! The owners of one of our beloved hair care brands, SheaMoisture, is bringing this icon’s products back to the market!
