Mehndi Design Book Definition
Henna body art (often referred to as "mehndi") is all natural,
temporary, painless, and safe for all skin types - a unique way to
decorate your personality, spirit, and body. Henna derives from a plant
known as Lawsonia Inermis, whose leaves are dried and crushed to make a
powder with natural dying properties. Henna designers create beautiful
designs that temporarily stain the skin a reddish brown that develops
into a rich brown color and lasts one to three weeks, depending on the
care the dyed skin receives. The application of henna has four distinct
benefits ("the four C's"), as it cools, conditions, cleanses, and colors
the skin. Henna is also commonly applied to hair -- on which it is has a
similar effect -- by millions in Asia and Africa, where it is
inexpensive and readily available, and helps cool the scalp in the hot
summer months.
The henna plant grows in hot climates and can be found in countries such
as Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Morocco, Yemen, Egypt, Uganda, Tanzania,
Afghanistan, Senegal, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and India. It is known
by many names, including Henne, Al-Khanna, Jamaica Mignonette, Egyptian
Privet, and Smooth Lawsonia. The art of applying henna is referred to as
'henna' and 'mehndi', depending on which culture or country one comes
from.
From the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt to modern-day wedding parties, from
Morocco to India, henna has enjoyed a variety of applications and
meanings throughout the centuries.
