What is Mehendi ?

The art of Mehendi has existed for centuries. The exact place of its origin is difficult to track because of centuries of people in different cultures moving through the continents and taking their art forms with them and therefore sharing their art with everyone along the way.  Some historical evidence suggests that Mehendhi started in India while others believe it was introduced to India during the twelfth century A.D.

The henna used for Mehendi comes from a bush called Lawsonia Inermis which is part of the loose strife family and is grown in the Sudan, Egypt, India, most of the North African counties, The Middle East and other hot and dry places. The bush is also grown in Florida and California for his ornamental appearance and often grows to be quite large, ranging from six to twenty feet in some cases.  The lance-shaped leaves from the bush are harvested, dried and then crushed to make the henna powder.  Henna is used for hair dye, as a skin conditioner and as a reliever for rashes.  The art of Mehendi is referred to as Henna or Mehendi depending on where you are and which name you feel came first.  No matter what you call it though, the art form remains essentially the same as it was centuries ago.  It is beautiful the way it stains the skin! 

In India, it is used at celebrations like weddings and other special occasions which are traditionally associated with transcendence and transformation.

 

Hands and feet are the most common areas that people apply henna to since the driest areas soak up and hold the color the best, but you can apply it to any area of the body.  If you want the henna to last for awhile, you will need to keep it on for as long as possible.  Try for at least seven hours.  That may sound like a long time but it really isn't.  After enough time has passed, you can take the henna off using your fingers to pick it off or gently rub it off with an implement that you are comfortable with (i.e., a piece of cardboard, a popsicle stick etc).  Try not to use soap on the hennaed parts for at least a day or two) and be gentle with it.  You can gently rinse it with water if you like but don't rub it -- it'll stay with you much longer that way.  If you look after it, it can last for up to 4 weeks.
