Let give you a gist about Mehendi / Heena, it is extracted from plant's leave called Lawsonia Inermis its botanical name & its generally known as Heena plant that where it gets it other name heena from.
Its natural form of beautification for men & ladies mostly & its mostly like temporary tattoo's

| My Mehendi Creation |
I just love & adore the smell of Mehendi & the smell states atleast for 2 to 3 days. I still dont get it how ??? even if i use any perfume on it but later the smell of perfume goes but what remains in the end is the aroma of mehendi & some may disagree with me in regards of its aroma (lol... but i jst love it...so you guys decide by yourself )
After applying mehendi takes half an hour to dry up once the mehendi is dried it start reacting with our skin & starts emitting color on the design from orange to darkest shade of brown accompanied by amazing aroma with it :)
& for me its an amazing alternative for tattoos.. I learnt & practiced mehendi just soo that i can put to myself especially & I can apply mehendi on my both the hands (i am ambidextrous) so whenever its out I am ready to put it again ;)

| Bridal style / Indian Style (my creation) |
Above design is designed & applied by me with Mehendi Cone.This mehendi style is callled bridal or indian style this is my favorite type of mehendi design. Its application takes time but its worth the trouble, it looks beautiful & covers the whole hand. This style is usually applied to Indian brides mostly for wedding.

Arabic design, this design is more like motif joined together to make a design (Above pic)
Mehendi design is mostly used on hand but now its widely being used as temporary tattoo on back, fore arms & arm , etc .& for more info about mehendi here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehndi
