HOW TO APPLY MEHNDI ON HANDS ?

Bonjour everyone!!

Raise your hands if u are a mehndi lover ? It’s fragrance ?? ??

But due to pandemic times we can’t go and ask the mehndi man -“bhaiya sundar si laga do ”

How about applying it on our own ? So , here are some tips and tricks I’ll like to share to apply mehndi on your hands .

• Old newspaper ??️ – Take any old newspaper or any used paper .
• Mehndi cone – Buy mehndi filled cones from market OR You can even buy powdered mehndi , mix in water and pour in the cones.
• Support – very important!! Use a table or some other stuff for supporting the hands . Make sure the hand you are using to apply should be comforted or else shivering hand will create a mess ?.
• Oiling – Use mustard oil or coconut oil and massage it on your hands or the area where you’ll apply mehndi .
• Making hole in the cone – This is the most important step . While cutting the tip of the cone , make a very small cut ( try to make it the most minimum one ) . Now , on the newspaper squeeze the mehndi cone and check if the consistency of the mehndi is like a ribbon . If it’s perfect then move onto the next step or else cut it a bit more till you get a ribbon consistency of mehndi .

Now , your mehndi is ready to be applied on your hands.

1. Holding – I suggest you to hold the cone as if you’re holding a pen .
2. Border – Start your design with a border .
3. Direction – Always remember to go in one direction . Either start from fingers to the wrist or better is to start from the wrist to fingers .
4. Pattern – If you’re a bit scared to try it on your hands , go for a sheet ( or someone else’s hands ?? ) and start with simple designs and return back to your hands .
5. Main Design – Create some unique designs or scroll through the net for some . Beginners can try some thick designs and others can try more detailed ones.
6. Drying – after your designs are complete , let them dry .
7. Shedding off – Shed off the mehndi on the newspaper.
8. Again oiling – apply oil and massage on your hands . This step is for dark mehndi.
9. Sleep – sleep and wait till next morning for best results
