Madam C.J. Walker: Madam C.J. Walker was born on the 23rd of December 1867 and died on the 25th of May 1919. She was a famous person who created a business of hair products. She went door to door and sold her hair products which was very successful. In her 30s she began to experience a scalp disease which made her loose her hair. She experimented with hair care products to help her hair grow and improve with her scalp, which created the business. Madam C.J Walker has had an impact on other people's lives, by creating hair care products for others which was a successful thing.
