Who says mehndi has to span your entire hand?
Small, subtle designs on fingers, wrists, or the side of your palm look chic, for example, tiny vines, single flower mehndi designs for girls, or symbols that hold meaning for you.
Don’t stick to traditional floral designs. Instead, opt for wildflowers, tropical leaves, or even tree branches on your hand could be fun. Trend-inspired designs add an effortless, free-spirited touch.
Or you can have bold line work, fill in sections with shading, and use different design elements like dragons, skulls, or even geometric patterns when you want mehndi to look more like body art than traditional.
Add poetry, initials, or your favorite quote into the design. They will be fun to talk about and give your mehndi another layer of meaning to reflect your style or feelings.
Mix cultural styles: Indian and Arabic. Let your mehndi tell its own cultural story! Mehndi is evolving, so do not stick to the same patterns.
Get creative and put a spin on traditional mehndi designs, expressing a trend that reflects you.
