Design Arabic Bridal Mehndi Definition

When I was a little girl, I would insist that my mother put mehndi on my
hands in the traditional design—small dots circling a larger dot in the
center of my palm.
What I didn’t know back in grade school was that the origin of this
classic design probably sprung up in the desert areas of Rajasthan,
Punjab and Gujarat. The story goes that people living in the Thar Desert
coated their hands and feet with a paste made from crushed henna
leaves. They noticed that as long as the color held, their body
temperature remained low. The women soon wearied of monotonous
reddish-brown palms and experimented with a single central dot and
several smaller dots. That small innovation opened the creative
floodgates—resulting in the complexity of henna designs today.
Mehndi Designs is the application of Henna as a temporary form of skin
decoration, in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Somalia as
well as expatriate communities from these areas. Mehndi Designs became
fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes
called henna tattoos. In Kerala henna is known as mylanchi and widely
used by the Muslim community. Henna is typically applied during special
occasions like weddings and festivals. It is usually drawn on the palms
and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains
higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the
colorant of henna. Henna Designs was used as a form of decoration mainly
for brides.
The term henna tattoo is inaccurate, because tattoos are defined as
permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed
to pigments resting on the surface.
Likely due to the desire for a "tattoo-black" appearance, many people
have started adding the synthetic dye PPD to henna to give it a black
color. PPD is extremely harmful to the skin and can cause severe
allergic reactions resulting in permanent injury or even, in the worst
case, death.
