Did any of you notice Google's doodle today?

The Shampooing surgeon from India!

It's about Sake Dean Mahomed - an entrepreneur and surgeon who helped break down cultural barriers between India and England. He was the first Indian author to publish a book in English, owner of the first Indian restaurant in Britain, and the man to introduce the concept of Shampooing to the West!

Mahomed is credited with introducing Indian cuisine and Indian therapeutic massages known as shampoo baths to Europe.

Born in Patna, India, in 1759, Mahomed was taken under the wing of a British Army officer at the age of 10 after his father died. He served as a trainee surgeon and then accompanied his benefactor to Britain.
After moving to London, Mahomed opened the Hindostanee Coffee House, the first Indian restaurant in Britain. The luxurious restaurant gave Georgian Brits their first taste of curry and the hookah.

In 1814, Mahomed moved to the beachside town of Brighton and opened the first commercial "shampooing" bath in England, providing a combination of a steam bath and an Indian therapeutic massage. He described the treatment in a local paper as "The Indian Medicated Vapour Bath (type of Turkish bath), a cure to many diseases and giving full relief when every thing fails; particularly Rheumatic and paralytic, gout, stiff joints, old sprains, lame legs, aches and pains in the joints"

His business flourished, promising to cure diseases and provide relief from various physical pains. He was so successful that soon he became known as "Dr. Brighton," with hospitals referring patients to his care. He was also appointed shampooing surgeon to British kings George IV and William IV.

Shampooing surgeon... interesting isn't it?😉 So, while our moms blame the L'Oreals and the Pantenes for ruining this generations hair, we might be able to tell them that shampooing (derived from the Indian word Champooi or Champi which is head massage) is what started it all off, after all!
