Madam CJ Walker decided to go into the hair care business when she started noticing hair loss. "During the early 1900s, when most Americans lacked indoor plumbing and electricity, bathing was a luxury. As a result, Sarah and many other women were going bald because they washed their hair so infrequently, leaving it vulnerable to environmental hazards such as pollution, bacteria and lice."She founded her own company called the Madam C.J Walker Manufacturing Company.
