Etymology
The word 'shampoo' is derived from the Hindi word 'chāmpo', which means to press or massage. It was introduced to the English language around the 18th century, originally referring to a traditional head massage. The concept of shampooing evolved with the introduction of liquid cleansers that we know today. By the late 19th century, shampoo began to be used specifically to describe products formulated for cleaning hair, separate from the earlier massage practices. As personal care and grooming became more popular, the practice of shampooing gained traction, leading to the diverse range of shampoos available in modern times, each designed for different hair types and conditions.
