Shampoo dates back to ancient civilizations, with evidence of early hair cleansing practices found in regions like India, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. The modern liquid shampoo that we use today was first introduced in the early 20th century, with the first commercially available shampoo being created in the 1920s by a German chemist named Hans Schwarzkopf.
