The American History of Black Hair Innovators and Inventions

African American history is so rich.It is also American history. If it happened in America, it is American history.As I started researching initially to make a video about hair, I start noticing how all history intertwines. As I put it together, everything started to make more sense and I got a very suprising history lesson.The confusion & discrepancies soon became amazing stories of diligence, intellect,strength unity & wealth. That's right I said wealth. Some history many will know but you will surprised how much you didn't know.Done in history and timelines only! Who were the first black millionaires? Babylonians made the first curling tongs.but who made the Marcel Irons? Do you know who really made the 1st unrefined relaxer? Did you you know the first perm solution was made from cow urine? Who made the first hair color for african american hair and what was it? Or dreads are spiritual? What does the three strand braid symbolize? And yes slaves did wear wigs! Do you know why Egyptians shaved their heads and wore wigs but what were they made from? Black slave owners in Chattel slavery. Or Free and wealthy blacks in 1600- 1700's. What was their impact in the freedom of slavery? How did the post slavery era affected black wealth, revolutionizing the black hair care industry, as they fought and overcame Jim Crowe, black codes and the women's suffrage. How did we survive great depression? How the civil rights movement made a big impact. And lets not forget the Black power movement and the hair movement. This book is dedicated to all the manufacturers, inventors and all the people who fought and even died for our future.
