August Monthly Mehndi Mayhem: A Global Henna Adventure

August 15, 2024

Hey there, henna enthusiasts! 👋

Three drawn hands with henna designs. Each hand has a different style, Moroccan, Indian, and gulf.

Ready for some exciting designs that'll make your creative hearts skip a beat? This month's Monthly Mehndi Mayhem is taking us on a whirlwind tour of henna styles from around the world. Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey through Morocco, India, and the Gulf region!

First stop: Morocco!
Get ready to be dazzled by the intricate geometric patterns and bold, non-symmetrical designs that are quintessentially Moroccan. Think tessellating shapes, diamonds/triangles, and tiny details that'll have you lost in their beauty for hours. I like to use a nice stringy henna like ORa for Moroccan designs.

Next up: India!
We're getting a quick look into the world of traditional Indian mehndi. Note the delicate fills that look like lace that make Indian henna so recognizable. It's like wearing a piece of art on your skin!

Last but not least: The Gulf! 🌴
Persian-Gulf-style henna is all about using heavy elements in a delicate way to make a statement. It's unique use of negative space and balance without symmetry make it stand out.

Remember, these designs aren't just for looking at (although they're pretty enough for that!). They're meant to inspire you, to get your creative juices flowing. Mix them, match them, or use them as a jumping-off point for your own unique creations. That's what henna is all about!

So, whether you're a henna newbie or a seasoned pro, this month's Monthly Mehndi Mayhem is your ticket to a global henna adventure. No passport required!
