champú; shampú: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "champú", plural "champús", es la castellanización de la voz inglesa "shampoo". Como indica el Diccionario panhispánico de dudas, la adaptación gráfica "champú" es preferible al anglicismo "shampoo". Además, se recuerda que la adaptación "shampú", mezcla de inglés y español, no es adecuada. 2, record 1, Spanish, - champ%C3%BA
