Mehndi, Tell me you dont know about it...   lol... here is what Mehndi is all about... Beautiful Mehndi Designs..mehndi henna

Mehndi is the application of Henna as a   temporary form of skin decoration in South Asia, the Southwest Asia,   North Africa and the Horn of Africa,   as well as by expatriate communities from these areas. Mehndi   decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they   are sometimes called henna tattoos. In Kerala henna is known as   mylanchi and widely used by the Muslim community. Henna is typically   applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals. It is   usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest   because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds   temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna. Henna was used as a form   of decoration mainly for brides.



The   term henna tattoo is inaccurate, because tattoos are defined as   permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed   to pigments resting on the surface. Likely due to the desire for a   "tattoo-black" appearance, many people have started adding the synthetic   dye PPD to henna to give it a black color. PPD is extremely harmful to   the skin and can cause severe allergic   reactions resulting in permanent injury or death.

Process : Henna paste is usually   applied on the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush, but sometimes   a small metal-tipped jacquard bottle used for silk painting (a jac   bottle) is used. The painted area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic,   or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense colour on   the skin. The wrap is worn overnight and then removed. The final colour   is reddish brown and can last anywhere from two weeks to several months   depending on the type of the paste.

Tradition : Intricate patterns of   mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. The   bridegroom is also painted in some parts of India, Bangladesh and Sudan   for bridegrooms to be painted as well. In Rajasthan (north-west India),   the grooms are given designs that are often as elaborate as those for   brides.

In Arabic speaking countries such as Morocco, and some   other countries in central Asia, it is done for any special occasion. It   is done during the seventh month of pregnancy, after having the baby,   weddings, engagements, family get-togethers, divali, as well as on other   occasions.

Mehndi Designs – Indian native

A typical Indian design is identified with a dot that is centered on the palm surrounded by 4 or 6 equally shaped small dots in a spherical path. All the fingertips are also capped with henna. This is a basic design and even novices can practice it easily and the whole process of application gets over in few minutes.

The designs of Indian native vary from simple to intricate. The brides usually wear the intricate designs during their weddings. These complex designs carry more details and almost cover 3/4th of the hand and take long time to complete. The designs for the feet vary according to the contours.

When using Indian native designs, it is better to leave the Mehndi to dry overnight. As the traditional dot design attracts more henna, it needs more time to dry. If you can add some natural color boosters like lemon juice and eucalyptus oil, the color comes out well. It is also suggested that you apply a little bit of coconut oil as soon as you remove the dried henna instead of washing it away with water. This makes your Mehndi shine and stay for longer time.

Mehndi Designs – Arabic

They are the simplest forms of Mehndi designs. They do not carry much detail and usually designed with leaves, flowers and vines all over the palms and feet. The Arabic designs are identified with unique curves that form different shapes. In these designs, specifically the shapes are not filled with henna and the skin is exposed in between Mehndi lines. So, these designs look very attractive on people with fair complexion. Since the shapes are not filled with henna, the concentration of henna on hands is less and the Mehndi design dries up quickly. Even the designing work does not take much time as it involves simple curves.

Arabic Mehndi designs are ideal for wearing on small festive occasions and at times even for simple family occasions. To make the Arabic Mehndi look even more attractive you can add some glitters over the design. The glitters should be added after the henna dries up otherwise they may mix up with henna and would give a shabbily look. But glitters only offer instant beauty and do not stay for long hours. If you wash your hands, they might get washed away with water, as they are not water resistant. So adding glitters is ideal for parties and small occasions.

Mehndi Designs – African

African Mehndi styles almost resemble Arabic styles but they use geometric figures such as dots, squares, semi circles etc. Like in the Arabic designs, even the shapes in the African designs are left unfilled. They generally look like a fine net or mesh covering your skin and the Mehndi lines are closely packed without leaving much space in between.

The application time for this style is quiet long as the designs usually cover 3/4th of the arms and legs. Obviously it takes more quantity of henna for heavy designs. However, people of India less prefer the African styles.

Mehndi Designs – Pakistani

Muslim women in India usually wear Pakistani Mehndi designs for occasions like Eid. Pakistani style uses details of both Arabic and Indian native styles. These designs are also suggested for bridal functions like Mehndi and women oriented functions like baby shower, karva chauth, bhaidooj etc.

Conclusion

Though the Mehndi designs differ according to the cultural background of people in India, it is considered as a sign of prosperity and happiness. The usage of both the age-old herbs like turmeric and henna has been mentioned in Vedic books. Earlier people use to grind henna leaves with color boosting natural ingredients to prepare the paste. Today Henna cones are available, which are easy to use and especially they don’t smudge on the applier’s hands.
