Mehendi

The art of painting henna mehendi, which was born in ancient Egypt, rather personifies "temporary tattoo" - this pattern lasts only a few weeks.

There are 4 traditional styles of mehendi. In the Middle East, flower motifs, similar in style to Arabic painting, are used. Here they rarely adhere to a certain scheme of application.

In North Africa, preference is given to geometric forms with interspersed floral motifs. The drawing corresponds exactly to the shape of the arms and legs of the "client".

The Indian mehendi touches not only the palms of the hands and the feet - here the pattern fuses the wrists and hands, beautifully frames the legs, forming a "stocking". The ornaments are dominated by lines, patterns, teardrop-shaped elements.

In South Asia and Indonesia, styles are mixed, borrowing the motifs of the Indian and Middle Eastern mehendi.

  • olive oil and cotton buds to remove excess dye;
  • alcohol to degrease the selected area of ​​the body;

  • toothpicks or wide sticks;
  • a syringe-bag or tattooing cone.

To get light lines, the dye should be lightly smeared with a wide stick (you can take it from ice cream), for darker patterns with a brown tint, it's better to apply a thick layer of paste or to dilute a part of gruel with bastma, adding boiling water or hot water.

Essential oil is poured before use. Ready-made pasta can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, tightly closing the dishes with a lid.
