Different Uses for Mehndi - Part 2

Mehndi has two main uses nowadays - colour and decoration. Mehndi designs have become so specific that anything decorated in the same technique, no matter what material used, is considered a 'mehndi/henna design'.

As candles are being decorated with actual mehndi being used to make the designs they also use dimensional paints in order to add colours and glitter to the design. Candles, candle holders, picture frames, glass items and other such things are decorated with mehndi designs using glass paints and dimensional paints.

The colour of mehndi is used for dying hair and fabrics.  You can purchase hair care products made with henna to colour your hair a deep red colour. Normally you would find it in an Indian grocery shop but you can also make your own as there are plenty of Youtube videos showing you how. Mehndi keeps your hair soft and resilient naturally which is why it's used by a lot South Asian women.
