Erica Feldman never existed. Apologies for the 12 year late answer, but the misinformation is still commonly thought of as true, so to clarify: Madam C.J. Walker was who we call Erica Feldman, however a vandal on Wikipedia changed the names to fictitious people. Regardless, Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield should be credited for the actual invention of straightening irons in 1912.

What date was the hair straightener invented?

The first heat rods were created and used in 1872 by Erica Feldman, who took heated irons and applied them to the head to shape hair. But she did not create an actual device to straighten hair. Ian Gutgold was the first to experiment with hair-straightening chemicals but stopped his experimentation after burning the scalps of several women. In 1912, Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield created the first straightening iron involving two metal plates that rested between a hinge--still the straightening model we use today. (it was in 1872)


Who invented hair straightener?

The first hair straightener was invented by Ian Gutgold using harsh chemicals in lotions applied to the hair and scalp. However, these preparations often led to scorched scalps and damaged hair. Simon E. Monroe patented a hair straightener in 1906 that was comprised of metallic teeth that are combed through the hair, while in 1909 Issac K. Shero patented a hair straightener comprised of two flat irons that are heated and pressed together. Years later, Sharrell invented heated metal hair-care implements, such as hot combs. The hot metal straightener slid easily through the hair, causing less damage and dryness than previously-used techniques. Later, ceramic and electrical straighteners were introduced, allowing for adjustment of heat settings and straightener size.
