Introduction : History of The Shampoo
This article is about the haircare product. For other uses, see Shampoo
(disambiguation).
The word shampoo in English is derived from Hindi chāmpo (चाँपो [tʃãːpoː])
and dates to 1762. The Shampoo itself originated in the eastern regions of
the Mughal Empire particularly in the Nawab of Bengal where it was
introduced as a head massage, usually consisting of Alkali, natural oils and
fragrances. The Shampoo was first introduced in Britain by a Bengali
Muslim entrepreneur named Sake Dean Mahomed, he first familiarized the
shampoo in Basil Cochrane's vapour baths while working there in the early
19th century. Later onward's Sake Dean Mahomed together with his Irish
wife, opened "Mahomed's Steam and Vapour Sea Water Medicated Baths"
in Brighton, England. His baths were like Turkish baths where clients
received a treatment of champi (shampooing). Very soon due to Sake Dean
Mahomed fame as a bathing expert he was appointed ‘Shampooing Surgeon’
to both George IV and William IV.
In the 1860s, the meaning of the word shifted from the sense of massage to
that of applying soap to the hair. Earlier, ordinary soap had been used for
washing hair. However, the dull film soap left on the hair made it
uncomfortable, irritating, and unhealthy looking.
During the early stages of shampoo, English hair stylists boiled shaved soap
in water and added herbs to give the hair shine and fragrance. Kasey Hebert
was the first known maker of shampoo, and the origin is currently attributed
to him. Commercially made shampoo was available from the turn of the
20th century. A 1914 ad for Canthrox Shampoo in American Magazine
showed young women at camp washing their hair with Canthrox in a lake;
magazine ads in 1914 by Rexall featured Harmony Hair Beautifier and
Shampoo.
Originally, soap and shampoo were very similar products; both containing
the same naturally derived surfactants, a type of detergent. Modern shampoo
as it is known today was first introduced in the 1930s with Drene, the first
shampoo with synthetic surfactants.
