About this app

The origin of the art of mehendi can be traced back to the Neolithic times and has been practiced by people across the world for centuries. Though it was initially used for spiritual and identification purposes, this art of mehendi expanded its horizons and soon became identified as a form of cosmetic. Mehendis are made by injecting ink into the layers of the skin. Most of them are permanent, but some can be removed fully or partially through laser treatments. The permanent nature of Mehendi was considered a drawback, as a particular Mehendi has to be carried throughout life. This led to the exploration for temporary Mehendis, which can be removed or which fade away with time. Henna Mehendi met these standards and became one of the most popular methods of tattooing.

Henna Mehendis:

Henna is a flowering plant, commonly found in the semi-arid regions of the world. The leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis) contain a red dye molecule called lawsone, which can bond with protein. Hence, the paste of these leaves have been used by people since time immemorial for dyeing fabrics and coloring hair, skin and nails. Traditionally, henna was used to draw delicate patterns on the hands and feet. Gradually, people started using henna designs as a replacement for conventional Mehendis. Unlike other types of temporary Mehendis, henna Mehendis cannot be made in a wide range of colors. The latter can come up with shades of reds, browns and near blacks. But beware of some henna products, which may contain harmful chemicals. Hence, it is always better to use natural henna for Mehendis and body art.

Henna Mehendi are made of henna paste, which is applied on the skin in the desired pattern. It is left on the skin for several hours to facilitate staining. The stain will last for around two weeks to one month, depending on the method of application and after-care. One of the reasons behind the popularity of henna Mehendi is its temporary nature. The tattoo will fade on its own and there is no need of adopting tattoo removal. Even if you want to remove these Mehendi, it is very easy, as compared to conventional ones. You don't have to sport the same design for a whole lifetime. Another reason is the lack of pain associated with the conventional Mehendi, which need needles to etch the design. In case of henna Mehendi, only henna paste is required.
