In the distant past - before the appearance of the familiar and well-known for us all shampoo, people used very exotic ways to clean their hair from dirt and dust.

For example, residents of the Philippines could wash their hair with aloe, and Indonesians cleaned curls with rice, or rather its husks, the people of China preferred cedar and with the help of extracts washed their hair. Indian women were always famous for their beautiful, thick and healthy hair: for washing them they used decoctions of herbs, medicinal plants and flowers.

This went on for a long time - until the beginning of the twentieth century, until in 1903, the German scientist-chemist finalized the final version: Hans Schwarzkopf perfected the recipe of the Englishman and was able to create a tool called "shampoo".

Now for us, these are all vestiges of the past, but then the first bottles with shampoo produced a real sensation and literally blew up the cosmetic industry.
