Tayaw kin-pun (Burmese: တရော်ကင်ပွန်း) is a traditional shampoo in Myanmar. Shampooing with tayaw-kinpun is an important tradition in Burmese culture. The main ingredients of this shampoo consist of the bark of a shrub, known as "tayaw"[1] and soapy fruit of the senegalia rugata, known as "kin-pun". Sometimes, lime is added.
It has been used traditionally for hair care in Myanmar since ancient times, as it was believed that shampooing hair with tayaw kin-pun would make bad luck go away and bring good luck.[2] Both tayaw and kin-pun grow throughout the country in the wild and thrive without tending. This shampoo is not bought in a store, but only in the open air markets of Myanmar. Nowadays, this shampoo is sold ready made in plastic bag.[3][4]
Legend
According to legend, King Duttabaung of Sri Ksetra attacked and conquered Beikthano and took the ruler Queen Panhtwar as his queen. She wanted her kingdom back. So every day, she makes the King lose power in some way as much as she can. The king had a powerful magic mole in the middle of his forehead, and it was recorded by the late people as "Three-Eyed Duttabaung".[5][6]
Therefore, one day, she offered a face-cloth to Duttabaung. Really it was the lower end of her htamein. His spears and blades are no longer blight. The King used it and lost his magic mole and glory. Many subordinate kings rebelled against Duttabaung when they realized that Duttabaung was low in power. The king himself suppressed the rebellions, but couldn't fight back the enemy as he had lost his glory and had to flee. While he was fleeing, it started raining, and he hid under the shape of a large tayaw tree that was surrounded by branches of kin-pun. The tayaw kin-pub sap fell on the king's hair, the spear in his hand immediately became bright and his magic mole reappeared. The king strongly believed that the tayaw and kin-pun trees had the power to increase his glory. Since then successive Burmese kings used to wash their heads with tayaw-kinpun.[5]
In popular culture
- On the last day of the Burmese new year, Burmese washing the head with the tayaw kin-pun. They wash their heads to mark the new year so that the impurities from the old year will not come.[7][8]
- On 13 April 2021, in the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, female activists from the Mya Taung strike column, against the military dictatorship with the "Tayaw kin-pun strike movement".[9]
