Mehndi Designs for Hands

One of the most popular designs is that of a checkerboard. The outline is usually in the shape of a ‘Paan’ leaf and square boxes are drawn intricately inside. Then alternate boxes are filled with henna thus giving the look of a checkerboard. Another popular pattern is a lovely peacock, with the sharp and curved beak and the corona on the head. Some people also go in for partial designs. This means that a beautiful creeper with flower patterns and leaves are drawn from the index finger to the wrist, the entire palm is not filled with designs.
The best aspect of heena is that it is totally natural, made from Lawsonia Inermis plant. Its leaves are first dried and then, crushed to make a fine powder. While applying, the powder is mixed with water. This makes heena totally safe to use.
