Joyners Accomplishments

• Marjorie Joyner, invented a permanent wave
  machine. This device, founded in 1928, curled or
  "permed" womens hair for a relatively lengthy
  period of time.
• The wave machine was popular among black and
  white women.
• Marjorie Joyner went on to become a well-known
  figure in Walkers industry, but she never got
  the money or the credit because of the Walker
  Company.

What do I have In common w/ this African American

• What I have in common with Marjorie Joyner is
  that she invented the perm which I use today.
• She also has done hair throughout her life time
  and I do the same because I love it.
• And if she was still living I would have been
  please to meet her.

How my life has been affected..And others

• She really affected my life by making the perm
  because sometimes I really do need it. LOL It
  also makes our hair easier to style and control.
• Joyner affected others the same way she affected
  me but some people need this more than I do.
  TRUTHFULLY!!!

A different World?

• If this invention were not accomplished every
  black women hair would be nappy and looking like
  a mess. With the special thanks to Marjorie
  Joyner us women and men also look great with
  straight hair with pretty styles which tags along
  with her curling machine.
