Shampoo
was invented in India, not the commercial liquid ones but the method by use of herbs. The word 'shampoo' itself has been derived from the Sanskrit word champu,which means to massage.
The word shampoo comes from the Hindi word champo, which means press or massage. After experiencing the Indian practice of champu, Bengali entrepreneur Sake Dean Mahomed opened a bathhouse in the English countryside, where he offered medicated vapor massages to mimic champu. He called those massages “shampooing.” Eighty years later, the term shampooing began to refer to sudsy scalp massages only. At that time, the word shampooing was the noun and the verb for the practice.
