Based on what is known about Madam C.J. Walker's life and work, the answer is likely B: to help Black women have healthy hair and scalps.
Some key facts:
• Madam C.J. Walker invented and sold hair care products for Black women in the early 1900s.
• She focused on products that moisturized and protected Black hair, which tends to be drier and more prone to damage.
• Walker viewed her hair care line as a way to economically empower Black women. She hired and trained many Black women to sell her products.
• Walker spoke publicly about the need for hair care products tailored to Black hair textures and formulated with ingredients that nourished Black scalps.
• She did not want Black women to straighten or "conform" their natural hair textures. She promoted healthy, "normal" hair for Black women.
So while Walker's products aimed to make Black women's hair more manageable and styled, the ultimate goal seemed to be improving hair and scalp health for Black women. Her formulations focused on fixing issues like dryness, itching and breakage that Black women commonly faced due to a lack of appropriate hair care products at the time.
For these reasons, the best summary of Walker's goals for her hair care products is likely option B: "to help Black women have healthy hair and scalps." The other answer options do not align as closely with what is known about Walker's mission and products.
