Shampoo originally meant head massage in several North Indian languages. Both the word and the concept were introduced to Britain from colonial India. The word shampoo in English is derived from Hindi chÄmpo (चाà¤à¤ªà¥‹ /tʃãËpoË/)[1]. Its English usage in Anglo-Indian dates to 1762[2]. In India the term chAmpo was used for head massage, usually with some form of hair oil[3].
