Here's a breakdown:
* 1762: The word "shampoo" was first recorded in English, likely originating from the Hindi word "champo" meaning "to massage". This was during the time of British colonization in India.
* 18th Century: "Shampoo" began to be used more widely in English, particularly in the context of hair washing.
It's important to note that the practice of hair washing with soap and water predates the introduction of the word "shampoo" by centuries. However, the word itself gained popularity as a way to describe this specific practice.
