Qwho invented the relaxer? Is it a man, a woman…? Surely an American! Many myths surround this birth, which we inevitably want in pain… When I saw my mother burn her scalp with her miracle cream, I also asked her this famous question.
“During slavery, to punish rebellious slaves, the master plunged their heads into a bucket filled with soda. Seeing that the rebel's hair had become smooth, the other slaves came up with the idea of straightening their hair by mixing soda with potatoes and egg. They then applied it all to their hair, ”she replied.
Myth or reality ? Even today, I cannot say so. But one thing is certain: an inventor claims the paternity of the relaxer, a certain Garret A. Morgan.
