Henna has many benefits for hair and skin, and henna has been used in hand-holding to this day, but with some changes. Women have different patterns and do not put them in the hand, so today we will explain the henna pattern step by step.
How to draw henna?
- Cleaning the area where we want to paint, and make sure that there is no fatty substance (such as: cream, oil, and lipstick), where the fatty substances prevent the persistence of henna on the skin.
- You should hold the funnel like a pen, lifting your thumb slightly up to squeeze the funnel and take down the henna.
- If we do not have the henna-filled funnel, it is easy to do one at home. The best material for making the funnel is the butter paper used for baking. Henna is easily removed from the funnel without the henna.
- Training on the drawings before applying to the hand, for example to draw the star we put five points in the form of a star and then get between them, and after mastering the form we apply henna.
- To draw other shapes such as roses or writing words we practice on paper, and then apply them to the skin.
- To ensure that the skin is not smeared with henna, the henna funnel head should be cleaned at each step of the drawing.
- You can use one person to draw henna and engrave it on our skin, or in hollow patches; it is a hollow form that is attached to the skin and then fill it with henna, leave it dry, and remove the adhesive.
