Mehendi

I love the way Mehendi looks when its applied fresh, I love the way it smells, I love the tinges of brown that it leaves on the skin, In all it adds to every festivity, a feeling of warmth, ethnicity and creativity!

 

Mehendi is prepared from Henna leaves. Henna leaves have a dye molecule that bind with the protein and with warmth give a brownish colour to the skin cells, As the skin cells are shed and the lower cells come up, it looks like the mehendi fades :)
