Shampooed is the past tense form of the verb shampoo. It refers to the act of cleansing or washing the hair or scalp with a liquid substance specifically designed for cleaning the hair, known as shampoo. Shampooing typically involves wetting the hair, applying an appropriate amount of shampoo, massaging it into the scalp to generate lather, and then rinsing it out thoroughly with water.
Shampooing serves various purposes, including removing dirt, excess oil, sweat, dead skin cells, and product buildup from the hair and scalp. Additionally, shampooing can help promote a clean and healthy scalp, improve hair texture and appearance, and provide a refreshing sensation.
Shampooed hair often feels clean, softer, and more manageable. It may also have a pleasant fragrance, depending on the type of shampoo used. Shampooing is an essential part of regular hair care and hygiene, as it helps maintain scalp health and prevents issues such as dandruff and itchiness.
Shampooed can also be used metaphorically to refer to the process of cleaning or purifying something other than hair. For example, it may be used to describe cleaning a carpet, upholstery, or other fabric surfaces using a liquid cleaning agent referred to as shampoo, specifically formulated for those purposes.

The word "shampooed" is derived from the Hindi word "chāmpo", which means "to press or knead the muscles". Chāmpo itself originated from the Sanskrit word "cāmpa", which means "to press, knead, or soothe". It was used to describe a traditional therapeutic practice of massaging and cleansing the scalp and hair. This technique was introduced to the Western world by British colonialists in India during the 18th century, and the term "shampoo" was eventually adopted into English. Over time, it evolved to refer specifically to the application of soap or detergents to cleanse the hair, and "shampooed" emerged as the derived past tense form of the verb "shampoo".
