Walker's road from poverty to riches began with a dream .
At the time,many African Americans lose their hair because they were poor and they didn't eat well.
Walker herself had this problem.
one night she had an unusual dream .
in this dream she received a formula for a special hair cream.
With this formula, she developed a product that helped her hair grow.
Walker then tried the cream on other people .
it worked well on them,too.
Soon,she was traveling around the country selling her "Wonderful Hair Grower." Within a few years, hundreds of black women were selling her products,and C.J. Walker was rich.
