The back of the hand is where Arabic mehndi looks its best: a bold floral sweep from the wrist to the index or ring finger, thick shaded outlines, and clean skin everywhere else.

Back Hand Arabic Mehndi Design #276

The back-hand Arabic layout

Start a large open flower at the outer wrist, trail leaves diagonally across the hand, and end on one finger with a vine or a cap. The thumb and the far fingers stay bare. Shade inside the outlines for depth and leave the centres of the flowers open.

These designs take 20 to 30 minutes and suit Eid, engagements, parties and weddings you attend as a guest.

Frequently asked questions

Which finger should an Arabic back hand design end on?

The index finger for a design that starts at the outer wrist, or the ring finger for one that starts at the inner wrist. Either keeps the diagonal line unbroken.

How much of the hand should an Arabic design cover?

Roughly half. The empty skin is part of the design; filling more turns it into a bridal look.
