Elaborate Kids Leaf Trail Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A captivating kids mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring petal arrangement and ribbon weave. Rated as Hard, this pattern is perfect for an engagement.

Full-hand designs run from the fingertips to the wrist, so allow extra time for application. Work from the wrist towards the fingers, or the other way round, so you never rest on wet paste. This pattern needs steady pressure control and fine line work, so it is best attempted after practising simpler designs.

Black henna often contains PPD, a hair-dye chemical that can cause serious skin reactions, and should never be used on children. Henna should not be used on babies, and children with G6PD deficiency should avoid it; ask a doctor if you are unsure.

Application tips: Keeping the skin warm while the paste is on helps the colour develop. Pick a design that takes five to ten minutes; young children rarely sit still for longer.
