Mehendi or Henna is derived from a plant Lawsonia Inermis, which is popularly known as the henna tree. The native of this flowering plant is from Arabian Peninsula, Near East Africa, North and South Africa. It is not only in India or South Asian countries but also Arabian countries celebrate this Mehendi custom. History speaks that henna was used in Europe back since the 19th century. Now in India, we have adopted that Arabian custom of Mehendi. It is not only restricted to traditional customs but also for fun and happiness to wear them anytime.

Preparing the Mehendi:

A paste called Henna is prepared from stems and leaf extracts of the henna plant which is then applied on hand. The leaves and stems at first are grinded properly into a form of powder. For the preparation of the paste, it is important to sift the henna power using nylon strainer. It is done to avoid any chunks blocking on the mouth of the applicator. The powder is then poured into a bowl, to that add 60ml of lemon juice and whisk it constantly to mix up. After proper mixing sugar and Lavender oil are added, then whisk again until it becomes silky smooth. The bowl containing the mix can be kept then at room temperature for few minutes with wrapping to allow the dye to separate. More lemon juice can be added to the dye which comes onto the surface of the mix to get smooth consistency. A plastic cone which can be made either manually or bought is then used for putting the prepared paste inside. Gentle pressure allows the paste to come out of the cone which can be used for several designs.
