28 Easy And Simple Mehandi Designs That You Can Do By Yourself

Mehandi is one thing that all Indian women adore not just because it is so intricately entwined in our culture but because of how beautiful the mehandi design looks once it is finished.
Mehandi is actually a kind of a natural dye made from the leaves and stem of the Henna tree. It is being used now as a natural dyeing agent and the art of mehandi has now spread all over the world. In western countries, mehandi is being used as a temporary tattoo too. Black mehandi especially has gained a great deal of popularity in the temporary tattoo industry.
