Winter Time Henna Fun - Henna Parties for the Holidays

Here is a photo of a full palm henna tattoo I did at a get together. I am always happy to have true patrons of traditional henna as they give me the chance to stay in practice with free hand/traditional & fine line henna.

Winter can be a very good time to have a henna party because the house is toasty warm, most people are in sweaters, woolies, and long sleeves, so the body temperature is up! These conditions are excellent to help the henna paste give the darkest possible stain.

Also.. with all other body parts covered, I have a chance to do full palm henna tattoo. I will post some new photos from friends having henna in India soon. Be sure to stop by the henna bookstore to get the latest pattern booklets from India.

Namaste.

Now Shipping to Canada & the UK


It has been a long time coming, but Free Hand Mehndi now ships to Canada and the UK. Our site is fully integrated and will properly calculate shipping charges for both countries.

Because of customs regulations, essential and henna oils cannot be shipped outside of the USA. Please check with your local post or customs office regarding customs fees/taxes/tariffs and items that are not ok for import into your country.

If you would like to purchase a kit, that contains an item that your country prohibits you from importing, please email and I would be happy to make substitutions.

NEW! Free Hand Mehndi Design Sheets



These sheets were designed by yours truly. Each sheet has a step by step visual of how to complete a design. Yes, it is that simple. Put many simple shapes together and you get all of those intricate designs you see.

More sheets to come.....in the mean time they are available at freehandmehndi.com and are reasonably low in cost. There are also some belly templates for pregnant and non pregnant bellies.
