Henna Hands




A temporary form of skin decoration, mostly used before the Indian wedding. It is usually drawn on the hands and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin, and stuffs you and me, wouldn't understand..
It is usually applied by a paint brush with the specific henna paste, then wrapped with tissue/plastic overnight. The final color is reddish brown and can last for around for months, depending of the quality of the paste.
