Back Hand Mehndi Designs for Girls

65 designs · Updated

Elegant back-hand designs for girls: a central flower or mandala, vines onto two or three fingers, and a bracelet band at the wrist. Detailed enough for Eid and weddings, light enough to apply in half an hour. This collection shows every for-girls back-hand design realistically.

These are balanced designs: more than a single flower, less than a full bridal hand. A typical one has a central flower or mandala, a bracelet band at the wrist and vines on two or three fingers. They take thirty to forty-five minutes and look good in photographs from a party or a family wedding. If you would like the palm done too, see palm designs for girls, or find an idea for the day in our wedding guest mehndi guide. Matching both hands is optional; a mirrored design looks polished, while two different designs from the same collection feel more playful.

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.

How long does a back hand design for girls take?

Thirty to forty-five minutes for most designs, plus about twenty minutes to dry before you can use the hand.
