Mehandi



Creating mehndi designs is actually quite simple and just takes practice to master. Mehandi design consists of taking small designs and motifs (Paisley [mango] shapes, straight lines, scallop lines, dots, tear-drops, leaf shapes, etc.) and combining them to make large, more complex designs as you will see here. I suggest that, if you are a beginner at mehndi, you purchase a henna book or find a number of small designs so that you can understand the basics of mehandi design.

Yea, My friend and I just tried out henna this weekend and it was a blast, although it was our first time so some of our designs turned out really funky, and it was more orange brown that dark brown, do you have any sugestions on how to buy henna or make it so it turns out less brown?
