Elegant Eid Wave Pattern Mehndi Design for Front Hand

A contemporary eid mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring teardrop cascade and paisley. Rated as Expert, this pattern is perfect for Teej.

The palm has the thickest skin on the hand, so henna stains darkest here. Keep the hand open and relaxed while the paste dries so the lines do not crack or smudge. This is a detailed pattern usually done by an experienced artist; allow plenty of time and work in small sections.

In South Asia, mehndi is traditionally applied on Chaand Raat, the night before Eid, when the new moon is sighted. Mehndi is worn for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as part of dressing up for the celebration.

Application tips: Wash and dry the skin before application and skip lotion or oil, which block the dye. Keeping the skin warm while the paste is on helps the colour develop.
