Pakistani Mehndi Designs are deemed to be a sign of  celebration in anyone's life. Mehndi (henna) is the thing that is widely used in the world to make hands more beautiful and graceful. Any function or party that is going to happen in Pakistan cannot be complete without mehndi. Bride or even  simple girls cannot complete her makeup without making designs of mehndi on hands and feet because everyone knows this is the trademark of Pakistani culture.




                                   


 In the past we saw mehndi was only used in the marriage ceremonies , but now it can be seen in its informal use also. Now we see lots of new henna designs, such as Indian mehndi designs, Arabic designs, peacock and many more have been introduced to pakistani henna tatoo culture.


                                   


Now  henna design making has acquired a form of profession because the designs are now in great variation. And on any special occassion an expert is consulted for this. And during this henna application a lot more things like glitters,beads and different colors are  used.





                                       



Making henna designs are not associated with formal occassions only, young girls always want to experiment with different designs.


                             


Applying beautiful henna patterns on feet adds to the beauty of any bride, and she  never  misses it during  those special preparations in her life.



                               


In pakistan henna tatoos are mostly made by these tubes, on the pointed top of these tubes a very tiny hole is made to let very little amount of paste out of that tube for making very intricate designs.


                                      


But some professionals use some sophisticated techniques to make flawless patterns.And to add more beauty and to help their customers stand unique at any particular function.



                                     

They are often equipped with kits,which contains different sizes of  noozles,colors,glitters and other accessories. These experts are providing their customers with such services that now it has become necessary in some big cities to hire their services for any grand occassion.



                         


And when the occassion is over the designs get fade day by day, we can reapply them or just get them erased by applying,salt water,hydrogen peroxide or just rubbing lemon on them.
