Her Dream of Dreams: The Rise and Triumph of Madam C. J. Walker

From: Jerrica | Date: 5/15/2007 5:37 AM

For those who say "I love her products" How can you say that when her proucts are no longer in stock since 1985? Let's be real shall we. So for that comment ....I thank her for her breakthrough in history for women of color.

i respect her for what she has did for the treatment for our hair..but I think the perm was a bad move..because what people don't realize is that even though you say "I like my hair straight adn/or relaxed," it's because you have conformed to "the white man's" expectations or you are imitating someone else. Just be you. So, even though Madam CJ Walker deserves acknowledgement for her inventions, if I could go back I would tell her not to invent the perm...but still make her other contributions.

I think the late Madame CJ Walker was an excellent trendsetter for all African American Women who care a lot about their hair. To me, she is the great one and she will always be the great one.

I do hair and if it wasn't for Madam C.J Walker I would have a big problem parting hair before I braided it. In all seriousness it is good to have great educated black women documented!!!!

How could I put Madam C.J. Walker I really want to thank you for creating something that nobody would probably ever thought of. I use the hot comb almost evey day if it wasnt for you I dont know what my hair would look like. Anyway I hope you rest in peace . We all love you !!

From: quinissa mason | Date: 1/9/2007 9:47 PM

I will always honor Madam C.J. Walker for her hair care ideas and inventions because if she didnt african americans hair would be out of line and off track and the perm and the hot comb was a life saver for us.
