Mesmerizing Traditional Geometric Grid Mehndi Design for Finger

A dainty traditional mehndi design designed for the fingers, featuring petal arrangement and spiral rosette. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a wedding.

Finger designs are quick to apply and dry fast, which makes them practical when time is short. Fingertips have thicker skin, so the stain there usually develops darker than on the rest of the hand. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Henna comes from the plant Lawsonia inermis, and its leaves have been used to dye skin, hair and nails for thousands of years. The practice is shared across South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Application tips: Use fresh natural henna paste; old or chemical cones give a weak or unsafe stain. Traditional designs are dense, so work in sections and keep the lines close.
