Sophisticated Moroccan Leaf Trail Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A captivating moroccan mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring chain link and ribbon weave. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

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

Moroccan henna is distinctive for its bold geometric patterns that differ significantly from South Asian floral styles. In Berber tradition, specific geometric henna symbols carry protective meanings against the evil eye.

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.
