Invention Information

Invention Name: “Walker System” – hair care products; and “Walker Method” – hair styling method

Patent Date: (Unknown) Original products were invented in 1905

Use/Application: The “Walker System” includes shampoo, a pomade or “hair grower” and hair gloss. The Method involves vigorous brushing and the application of heated hair combs. The Method transforms stubborn, lusterless hair into shining smoothness.

Impact on Society: The Walker System and Method creates a safe and comfortable way for black women to be pampered. This kind of attention boosts black women’s self-confidence and alleviates the daily stress that black women suffer from. In addition to feeling physically beautiful, this allows women to have a beautiful mind and soul.

Importance of the Invention Today: Women of all backgrounds are succeeding in starting their own businesses and are highly respected in the industry
