| HAIR HISTORY - History Of Shampoo |
The
word "shampoo" comes from the Hindu word champo which means "to massage" or "to knead".
The first successful retail shampoo was developed by John Breck
in the 1930s. He was the first manufacturer to present the public
with a shampoo line for dry and oily hair. His advertisements
featuring the "Breck Girl" became very popular, and
many famous Hollywood starlets posed for his ads. It wasn't
until the 1970s that much gentler PH-balanced shampoos entered
the market. Today, the consumer has literally hundreds of shampoos,
mousses, gels and conditioners from which to choose. |
