The look
One focal flower on the back of the hand, leaves and dotted trails to the index and ring fingers, and alternating rings at the knuckles. The thumb and little finger usually stay bare so the hand does not feel crowded.
Thirty to forty-five minutes per hand. Suits Eid, birthdays, engagements and mehndi nights.
Frequently asked questions
Which back hand design is best for a girl attending a wedding?
A central flower with vines on two fingers and a wrist band. It reads as festive without competing with the bride's bridal design.
How is a for-girls design different from Arabic?
It is finer and more symmetrical, with a centred motif rather than a diagonal sweep.
