Henna comes from the leaves of the plant Lawsonia inermias. The plant grows in hot and
dry climates, and is native to North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Middle East. The
leaves of the
plant are dried and crushed to powder. Various additives such as coffee
decoration, tea, lime juice, mehendi and eucalyptus oil are mixed with the henna powder
to increase the potency of the dry, this also helps to bind the powder to a paste like
consistency. The mixture is applied through cones in intricate patterns depending on the
region of use.
Album of Patterns
Four major styles can be found in the vast dictionary of mehendi designs. Earlier the
application was restricted to hand and feet, but the adoption of mehendi by different
cultures throughout the world has seen experimentation on different body parts includi
the neck, naval and back.
North African patterns rely on geometrical images to trace the shape of hands and feet,
Arabic designs borrow heavily from local textiles, paintings and architecture. These are
more spaced out, to allow the design to stand our boldly from the skin parts left
antouched by henna. The Indian style comprises of delicate loops and curves, paisleys,
eardrops and flowers that give a dainty filigreed glow-like effect. Though intricate
atterning is the name of the game today, this trend took off in India only during the 2
entury. The patterns preferred by the South Asian countries are a mixed of Ind-Pakis
nd Arabic design schemes. Chinese and Celtic symbols now find a place in the vast
pertoire of mehendi designs as well.
