Artistic Full Hand Sunburst Mehndi Design for Front Hand

An elegant full hand mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring paisley and anklet border. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for an engagement.

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 pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Full-hand mehndi covers the hand from the fingertips to the wrist and often continues up the forearm. It is the usual choice for brides and for major festivals where a heavier look is wanted.

Application tips: Dab a lemon and sugar mixture on the dried paste to keep it moist and stuck to the skin. Scrape the dried paste off instead of washing it, and keep the area away from water for the first 12 to 24 hours.
