The brand strives to inspire boldness and a sense of freedom through a forward-thinking hair care system that offers an array of textured hair care products designed for style versatility without the fear of sacrificing hair health.

"I am thrilled to continue my great-great grandmother's legacy with the launch of MADAM by Madam C.J. Walker in partnership with stellar Black women leaders at Sundial Brands and Walmart," said A'Lelia Bundles, author, historian, and Walker's biographer. "We worked together to merge 100 years of research, development, science and technology to ensure that the products are as innovative and effective as the original Walker line.
