Here's My Bridal Mehndi File

Hi Guys!

Not too long ago, I did a bridal mehndi class and was assigned by my teacher to create a mehndi design file. There were some students that put half their hearts into creating a file and others were very passionate about it. I made a conscious decision to create a file that will be beautiful and long-lasting. 

Here's some of my work:

How to Go About Learning Henna Designs?

Hi Girls!

In my previous post, I shared how I developed interest in mehndi designs. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that was highly skilled and dedicated to teaching me over several months. If you have someone in your family or social circle, then ask them if they can become your mentor. Otherwise, find an institute near your home that provides basic mehndi and bridal mehndi classes. 

Classes are usually affordable. All-female institutes in Pakistan teach anywhere from Rs.300 p/m to Rs.1000 p/m. If you have a higher budget, you can enroll in classes at an up-scale parlor. Classes will then cost you a whopping Rs.3000 - Rs. 10,000 or more! 

What should you bring to a mehndi design class? 

Should You Learn Mendhi Designs?

Hey!

A handful number of years ago, I visited Pakistan and came across many teenagers that were involved in learning a new skill. I remember when I was much younger, I would spend my days in front of the television set or online browsing the web endlessly for anime and other childish things. Upon my travels, I was totally impressed how young girls utilize their time effectively by learning things that may in the future become more than just a hobby. From stitching to self-grooming, many institutions are open nationwide and assist girls of all ages to learn a variety of tasks.

I happened to have a neighbor that was highly skilled in applying henna designs. She learned from mehndhi patterns from an institute near our home a few years ago. When asked why is she interested in learning this course as opposed to other courses available, she answered that she would like to learn as makeup, hairstyling and henna go hand-in-hand and it is inconvenient as well as costly to find a henna artist to apply mehndi at all times.
