Shampooing is an Indian concept. Shampoo was invented in India, not the commercial liquid ones but the method by use of herbs. The word 'shampoo' is derived from Hindi chāmpo (चाँपो) ,itself derived from the Sanskrit root capayati (चपयति, which means to press, knead, soothe or massage).
The word shampoo entered English language from India during the colonial era in 1762.
