Scrape off the dried paste and avoid washing your hands with water for at least 12 hours to allow the color to fully develop.”

How To Choose The Right Mehndi Design

Picking the perfect Mehndi design for yourself is a relatively easy task. Just consider these factors and you are good to go. We have listed them below.

• Personal Style: Understand what kinds of designs appeal to you. If you prefer simple designs, go for minimalist motifs like vines. However, if you like intricate designs, go for geometric Mehndi.
• Outfit Coordination: Choose a design that complements the theme and design of your outfit. The best Mehndi choice for traditional outfits is floral patterns. If you are wearing Indo-Western outfits, go for geometric patterns.
• Type Of Eid Event: Consider whether you want a Mehndi design for a family Eid celebration or an Eid party with friends.

Traditional motifs, like the Moon, work fine for family gatherings, whereas abstract designs are better for parties.

However, when it comes to making the actual design, it is best to go freehand and let the creative mind of the artist take over. That is the way you get a truly authentic design that’s aesthetic and festive!
