The Plant Henna Mehndi

I got this picture in a rural fair. Vendors sat on the ground with Mehendi (Mehandi or better spelt Mehndi) or Henna (made of the plant Henna, Lawsonia Inermis ) with ready-made block of designs. A very small girl got attracted to it and coaxed her poor father to getting her small palm colored with Mehendi. The man very rapidly did this. 

But when I told him that I wanted to take a photo, he extended the Women in Pakistan are mostly really cynical as beautifying themselves may classify them as vain and draw the interest of unfavorable care and that much castigation for the religious heads and male family members.

Mehndi Hinas - The Application of Henna

Mehndir Hinais the application of hennaHindustani: हेना- حنا- urdu) as a temporary form of skin decoration, most popular in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Somaliland as well as expatriate communities from these areas. It is typically employed for special occasions, particularly weddings. It is usually drawn on the hands and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin, with which the colorant of henna, lawsone, enters a permanent bind.

Henna paste is usually applied to the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush, but sometimes a small metal-tipped jacquard bottle used for silk painting (a jac bottle) is used. The painted area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense color on the skin. The wrap is worn overnight and then removed. The final color is reddish brown and can last anywhere from two weeks to several months depending on the quality of the paste.

The patterns of mehndi are typically quite intricate and predominantly applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. However, traditions in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan sometimes expect bridegrooms to be painted as well. In Rajasthan (north-west India), where mehndi is a very ancient folkart, the grooms are given designs that are often as elaborate as those for brides. In Kerala (south India), henna is known as mylanchi and is commonly used by the Mappila (Muslim) community during weddings and festivals.

In Arabic and Persian speaking countries, such as Morocco, it is done for any special occasion. It is done during the seventh month of pregnancy, after having the baby, weddings, engagements, family get-togethers, as well as many other reasons to simply celebrate an event.

Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called "henna tattoos". This term isn't accurate, because tattoos are defined as permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed to pigments resting on the

Pleasure of Mehndi




Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with fellow henna artist and friend, Lily from Dayton She, along with my sister Andrea, helped me out with a big gig at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH for their annual Diwali celebration.

The day started off with an hour trip to Stow to hang with some fellow artists at Catherine Cartwright-Jones's house for the annual "Sling & Slack". Traveling with me was my loyal henna apprentice (and sis), Andrea. She has been helping with large events and is developing some mad skills. We met up with Lily at Catherine's house and stayed for a couple hours, killing time before the Kenyon gig.

The Festival - Mehndi Henna


All in all, the festival season went really well this year. I will say one thing though... I will not be doing any more community "Home Days" festivals. I had never done them before and tried a few this summer. TOTAL BUSTS. I felt more like a baby sitter than a henna artist. Ah well... live and learn.

I may do some indoor fests during the colder months, although nothing is set in stone at this point. I was asked to do one at the end of Oct, but I am still debating...
