Etymology

The word 'shampoo' originated from the Hindi word 'champu', which meant to massage or knead the muscles. This term was adopted by British colonizers in the 18th century, who initially used it in reference to the practice of massaging the scalp and washing hair. The practice of shampooing became popular in Western culture in the 19th century, with the introduction of various commercial shampoos. These products were formulated to provide a more effective means of cleaning hair compared to traditional soap, which could be harsh on the scalp. Over the years, the formula and presentation of shampoo have evolved significantly, resulting in a diverse range of products catering to different hair types and concerns.
