I love love love henna!!! especially this last year or so ive been really into it!
Here are some of my henna pictures from this summer (in Morocco)
and here are some henna designs I got from the internet:
More Moroccan designs :)
- Moroccan designs seem to contain flowers and leaves and the stuff like that
- usually they do one finger (usually the Index finger) and work their way down to the hand
- doesn't really contain that much details, really simple
- usually ends at a little bit after the palm, but i like to tell them to make it a little longer
- older women, usually get the whole hand done, full of designs
- Also, as you can see in some of my photos above, the henna designers in morocco use REAL needles, they are sold at any herpes shop. you put the henna past and would have to hold the needle the certain way to get it out! which is quite difficult to do. and no! they dont hurt of anything, in fact the needle doesn't touch your hands :)
khaleeji designs :)
- I LOVE Khaleeji designs! the details are absolutely gorgeous
- they seem to have more shapes and details than moroccan designs
- khaleeji henna have either clean and little bit of henna applied or a whole lot
- most khalleji designs do go further up in the arm, and during weddings it is traditional to have a lot of henna up to the elbow!
Indian designs :)
- Indian henna consists of a lot of details and work!
- usually the whole hand is decorated and it also does go above the hand and more into the arm
- you can also see that it has a different color than the arabic henna
I hope you enjoyed! thanks for reading
have a wonderful and safe day/night
xoxo SL.
