Place a cushion under your friend’s hand. Now you can do this step while sitting on a sofa, ground or bed. Be easy, be comfortable and do not listen to nearby people’s teasing and do not get too much excited or you will end up doing everything wrong.

Till now, you must have learnt how to make a design just by seeing it, so start from the place farthest from you - the wrist and proceed towards the thumb.

Then center of the hand to the index finger.

Then from the middle finger to the pinky and finish the design!

Wait for henna to dry. It dries very quickly as you apply it but as it is a form of dye so you have to wait till it dyes completely on the hand – about 10 hours (maximum)- the best way to do this is to apply henna before going to bed and wash it off when you wake up in the morning. Wash it with tap water and see the result.
