Mehndi (also spelled mehendi or mehandi) is a popular decoration for the skin, usually on hands and feet, in Southeast and Soutwest Asia and North Africa. Henna paste is made from the leaves of the lawsonian inermis plant, also called henna or hina, a tall shrub or tree two to six meters in height (see picture below). The henna leaves are first dried, then pounded and sifted until they become a very fine powder, which is mixed with a bit of water and kneaded until it becomes a paste.
Once applied, the moist, dark brown paste will soon dry up and become light brown. It can then simply be brushed off but for best results, contact with water should be avoided as long as possible. On areas like the palms, where this is hardly possible for more than two hours, mehndi designs tend to fade the fastest.
They are many myths that go about the longevity of mehendi in a bride’s hand. One of them is that the longer the mehendi lasts on the bride’s hand the better she’ll be treated in her house. According to different cultural background mehendi (henna) can be divided into several types. Most famous types of mehendi designs are Pakistani Arabic, Indian and African. Designs from these diverse regions can easily be differentiated. Here are their individual features that will help you in identifying the type of design. 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 even, in the worst case, death.
