History wouldn't be the same without these pioneering ladies making sure Black women look and feel their best. 💋

Lyda D. Newman created the first synthetic hairbrush, making the brushing of one's hair much more hygienic than with the traditional use of boar's hair. 😱

Before there was Mary Kay, there was the Walker System. Madam C.J. Walker created and sold hair care and cosmetics products for Black women door to door. 💄 This entrepreneurial  endeavor led to her becoming the first black female millionaire in America and her reputation as a philanthropist. 📈  She was a boss babe before we had a name for it!
