Mehndi Hand Design - The Net

The 'net' hand for mehndi designs is very popular and looks amazing. Here's the technique on how to do it. Start off with washing your hands and adding some oil to moisturize your hands ie: olive oil, sunflower, or eucalyptus.

Most henna artists like to make an outline of where they would like to create their design. Since this is the net design you should make an outline on your hand like the picture below:

 Start off making vertical lines at a 60 - 65 degree angle from one end to the next.

Then try making the same lines going in the opposite direction. Don't worry if your lines are not perfect, just make sure that your lines are making a diamond shape while crossing with the other lines.

Now on the inside corners of each diamond add a simple dot as close to the lines as possible - below I've spread them apart so you have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Your result should look like this:

Once you get the hang of doing this technique you can add to it how you like. Below is an example of a hijab style using this technique.
 

Good Luck!
