Mehndi costing

-
Newbies have a lot of confusion in mehndi costing. If you are a beginner, cost less amount to your friends and relatives. This makes people notice your work and those images enhances your portfolio. A professional photograph of your mehndi taken by a wedding photographer gives you a professional look. I live in Chennai. The cost of bridal mehndi starts from 5,000. The cost depends on work and intricacy involved. You can charge extra for each and every additional artistry. In Chennai extra cost of 500 charged for dulha and dulhan. A figurative mehndi costs from 7000. The charge also depends on length of mehndi art. If you work from mid arms and if you start from shin of legs you can charge more. If you mastered mehndi art then don't offer less price. You can explain politely to your customers that you had spent this much time to master the art or this design you have chosen requires so much hard work.

Mehndi oil and store cones

-
Mehndi oil- mehndi oil is not at all derived from mehndi leaves. Essential oils are derived only  from aromatic plants like rosemary and lavender. Essential oils cannot be extracted from henna plant. Many mehndi artists mix lavender,tea tree and cajeput oil and call the blend  as mehndi oil. If any person sells a product as mehndi oil please request them to tell the ingredients. If any seller tells that there is a secret ingredient and cannot be disclosed then please don't buy it. I will not recommend these kind of secret oils as there is more possiblity of adding paint thinner,solvents etc.  Ammonia can also be added in mehndi oil. It is believed that in Rajasthan urine of camel is added as it contains ammonia. Ammonia gives black shade. Home based ammonia when  added in water and hands or  legs dipped in water gives black shade. The same ammonia can be added in mehndi oil or hair dyes might have been added. Mehndi cones I have used store bought mehndi cones before. Nowadays,

Mehndi in South India

Mehndi in South India In Tamil Nadu mehndi is called as Marudhani. In South India mehndi was applied by grinding fresh mehndi leaves using ammikal(traditional stone grinder).  Later people used blender to grind mehndi. The grinded fresh mehndi paste is applied on hands in round patterns. Usually a big round of mehndi is applied on centre and small rounds of mehndi is placed surrounding the centre. My mother shares her memories of marudhani with us whenever we apply henna. She and her sister used to fight over grinding mehndi. As one  hand become red stained on grinding mehndi they refuse to do it. She remembers only during her wedding her sister ran to pluck henna leaves and volunteered in mehndi grinding. After the plastic covers came into existence my mother used to cover her right hand with plastic cover and grinded mehndi using blender. She and other neighbour women used to sit in thinnai and apply mehndi after doing all household chores. She did not applied mehndi after my fa
