Elegant Gulf Diamond Lattice Mehndi Design for Front Hand

A delicate gulf mehndi design tailored for the palm, featuring paisley and wave pattern. Rated as Hard, this pattern is perfect for everyday.

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 needs steady pressure control and fine line work, so it is best attempted after practising simpler designs.

Gulf-style, or Khaleeji, henna is popular in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. It is known for large, bold flowers and leaves with plenty of open space between them.

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.
