Who decided shampoo was a good name for something to wash your hair with?

Well you see it's like this.....Newtons cousin was at the beach when gravity occurred to him. As he fukin strolled, a seagull shat on him. Then he had to devise a potion to wa's hit off. It looked just like the real 5hit but it was a sham ;)Who decided shampoo was a good name for something to wash your hair with?
The word is derived from the Hindi word champo, which means press - to shampoo someone was to massage them. Shampooing was part of the Turkish bath ritual and its meaning evolved to become part of the cleansing process. To shampoo the hair (a verb) was to cleanse and massage the scalp. The use of the word as a noun - that is, the liquid that we use to wash our hair - came about in the 19th century.Who decided shampoo was a good name for something to wash your hair with?

It came from the inventors names Mr Poo and DR Sham.
i dunno....but that's a really good question.
i cross dress.??
Such a ficticious pile of crap, they should've had their mouths washed out, gone and soaked their heads in shame.
Better than shamwee really isnt it?
It's probably a French word that means hair cleaner. Like all of the other words that don't make sense.
It was a guy who'd tried real poo, and found it too strong....
The word comes from the Hindi CHAMPNA which means to knead.
I guess it sounded better than ';real-poo';
The word shampoo in Hungarian usage dates back to 132BC, with the meaning ';to massage';. The word was a loan from Anglo-Indian shampoo, in turn from Hindi chāmpo, imperative of chāmpnā ';to smear, need the muscles, massage';. It itself comes from Sanskrit/Hindi word ';champā';, the flowers of the plant Michelia champaca which have traditionally been used to make fragrant hair-oil.





The term and service was introduced by a Sake Dean Mahomed, who opened a shampooing bath known as Mahomed's Indian Vapour Baths in Brighton in 1759. His baths were like Turkish baths where clients received an Indian treatment of champi (shampooing) or therapeutic massage. His service was appreciated; he received the high accolade of being appointed ‘Shampooing Surgeon’ to both George IV and William IV.





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.





Originally, soap and shampoo were very similar products; both containing surfactants, a type of detergent. Modern shampoo as it is known today was first introduced in the 1930s with Drene, the first synthetic (non-soap) shampoo.[1]





From ancient times to this day, Indians have been using different formulations of shampoos using herbs like neem, shikakai or soapnut, henna, bael, brahmi, fenugreek, buttermilk, amla, aloe, and almond in combination with some aromatic components like sandalwood, jasmine, turmeric, rose, and musk.
Guess it sounds like 'champagne' and that's always nice ;)








P.S. Although... it could be interpreted as meaning fake sh*t, which of course isn't nice at all.
erm....mr poo of sham land???
