Contemporary Front Hand Chain Link Mehndi Design for Front Hand

A charming front hand mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring floral vine and lotus pattern. Rated as Easy, this pattern is perfect for Eid.

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 beginner-friendly pattern: practise the main shapes on paper first, then copy them onto skin with a fine-tipped cone.

The palm is the traditional placement for mehndi and gives the darkest stain on the body. A round mandala in the centre of the palm, often called a tikki, is one of the oldest and best-known layouts.

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.
