Your First HENNA - Tutorial for Beginners

[@BeautyZing]

It is really interesting to know someone from a western culture loving Henna that is a traditional art from India. I just loved your video...very inspiring!

[@fairyfox]

I am so happy to hear it!

[@RheaAlwani]

I am doing it right now lol

[@mahrosh_babar884]

It is an east Asia thing, A lot if countries do this including Pakistan! But you are correct!!

[@Aissata.guinea]

Lol, Henna represents lot cultures. I’m west African and it’s tradition for us to do it during weddings and holidays.

[@zulaikhaakhter7759]

It’s not from India.......😅

[@TheRightWay2go]

It’s inspiring to see your passion...I’m and Indian living in the Middle East. Indian designs are fuller and more traditional...it’s called “mehendi” and in the Middle East they do such designs the one you showed. I love henna so much..it’s so beautiful and smells so nice as well! Thanks for sharing.

[@fairyfox]

Hi Hera, thanks for your kind comments!

[@mummamigmarko762]

I know about the smell... lol people find it really strong, but I actually enjoy the smell.... my old neighbors used to joke that I was from India in my past life....lol I kinda really enjoy the culture. It's so vibrant & colorful. Just such a beautiful culture with amazing people. I've always wanted to visit but could NEVER afford it..

[@mummamigmarko762]

@Simran Verma don't be scared, just do what comes to mind. You'll do awesome. Practice makes prefect tho. Keep it up, you'll do awesome. Sorry, I know this was meant for the person who posted the video, but I think it's awesome you're learning mehndi.

[@mummamigmarko762]

@Simran Verma that's awesome. It gets easier trust me. If I were able to post a picture in the comments here of the first time I did mehndi & how I do it now, it's night & day. I practiced on my legs, hands, feet, my daughters hands....lol but, it's paying off, I'm not the greatest yet but I'm getting better everytime & my confidence grows when I try a new design. You'll get better each time you do more. Just practice, practice, practice.

This is the best tutorial so far I am a 14 year old girl has always been interested in doing Henna on myself since I was eight and watching this tutorial is probably the best thing that could ever do. I bought 24 cones off the Amazon and now I am officially in love. Thank you for teaching me the basics.

[@fairyfox]

So happy to help.

I'm a cake decorator that just got my first Henna kit and I just want to say, this is a lot like piping on a cake💜. if you ever need to practice get some buttercream and just practice with that so you're not wasting your henna🤎 it's about the same consistency 😘also thanks so much for the informative video I'm so excited to get started on my new hobby 🖤🤎♥️

[@fairyfox]

Thanks for the tips! YOU will love it! Henna decor on cakes is beautiful too.

[@glowgirl16]

Thanks, this was really helpfully to be confirmed. I like cake decorating a lot and I was curious if henna has a similar feel because it seems similar from the overall texture and density. Thanks 😊!

[@khaunani]

I was going to make the same comment regarding the similarity to cake decorating. In addition to cake, I decorate cookies. Henna will be another way to create.

[@aminaabdi2973]

You can use lotion cream

[@madmommy]

So, I volunteered to do henna art at post prom at my son's high school. I've only ever done traditional face painting, but I'm crafty and figured I would give it a try. Yours is the first video I've watched, and I'm so completely confident I can do this now! You have such enthusiasm and your teaching style is awesome. Thank you!

[@fairyfox]

That is awesome!

[@laurenleslie7156]

I used to get henna when I was a child and I have always loved it and thought it was so beautiful. Recently I decided to buy some henna and give it a whirl. My first attempt was okay, wasn’t perfect so I thought I’d try again today and I followed your video and I love what I’ve created. I attempted to mimic the first design you did with the flower and I’ve added afew extra dots and lines around the outside to make it fit my hand and I’m obsessed!! I wish I could leave a picture to show you. It’s not perfect but it’s a second attempt and practice makes perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[@fairyfox]

Lauren, I am so glad!!!

[@kerisparenga]

Lara! You never cease to amaze me. My niece's mother who has reverted to Islam said that I should get into henna since I'm a "jack of all trades". You've introduced me to the world of henna now and you made it look so easy. Thank you for this very helpful video! I look forward to practicing. The other commenter said to practice with buttercream...I agree since you don't want to waste money until you're ready. Henna is very much like decorating cakes and cookies. I do not envy cookie decorators they are tough!

[@anu2144]

lol you know u can’t ‘transition into being muslim’ it’s called ‘reverting to Islam’ thanks

[@kerisparenga]

@@anu2144 Thank you for the correction

[@time6147]

EID MUBARAK!! everyone

[@allabtyarn4623]

Just got my first henna tattoo today and I’m obsessed! I let the artist pick the design and she chose one based on what my energy and skin was telling her. When she asked me what color glitter I did the same, let her decide. It came out so beautifully.

[@paulamoors]

I keep trying. I just bought a cone. Haven’t tried I. Several years but I love it.

[@_crystalmoontea_2528]

This is just AWSOME! My cousins Mendhi (a cultural event when people get married) is coming up and I wanted to do the Mendhi (henna) for the little kids! I already have a back-round with henna since it is very cultural to my family. This helped a lot thank you so much!

[@fairyfox]

Anaya, congrats to your cousins! And good luck to you.

[@unusedflint6066]

[@mariebk1]

Mendhi is not a cultural event! Mendhi means the practice of painting designs on the hands, feet, etc using henna.

[@seaweed_brain]

THANK YOU!! ive tried henna like once or twice before but i could never figure out how to hold the cone right. when i held it the way you did my face literally went :O :D ur designs are so pretty!!

Thank you so much. I have face painted for years but love henna and want to do it so badly. You are the 1st person that makes me feel like I can!

Thank you. I have henna sitting here waiting to b used but haven’t touched it. I’m going to try your simple (not really to me but...) hand design u did. Not sure the quality. I hope it’s good. I did not know what I was doing when I bought it last September or possibly earlier. Anyway, after I do another project I’ve been putting off I’ll try the henna design and try to post it somewhere for u to see. Fairy Fox, I truly want to thank you for your kind, learning videos and just you being you. It does show thru!!! I am ever so grateful I found your KZbin videos. Keep up the great work and to all your followers the same. Stay safe everyone XO

thank you very much for this video, i have a question though it's important to apply some oil on the skin before drawing? tysm

[@sakuragirl9648]

Ok let me tell you why I wanted to learn to do henna. First it's because I'm Arab and I wanted to connect to my culture more. Second, it's because my sister (that I love sooo much) moved to study abroad and she likes henna but rarely finds any place to do it so I want to learn to do henna to make her some and I wrote this comment to let you know that you helped me so much. Thank you💗💗💗💗💗

[@fairyfox]

Go for it! How exciting!

[@mummamigmarko762]

Thank you so very much. I started doing my own mehndi because the first lady who was doing it for me got a new job & when covid hit, we couldn't see her anymore. Then, my old downstairs neighbors sister was doing it for me but, she was in school so was rarely around & I figured, if I want to have mehndi done on a regular basis, (which I do) I may as well learn how to do it myself. I did, but I'm not that great at coming up with designs. I'm working on the flower petals but I can't ever get them to be the same size....lol but, nature isn't prefect, neither am I so, why should my mehndi be absolutely perfect. I'm really good at the actual mehndi, just coming up with designs that I feel I can do is the hard part so, thank you so very much for creating these videos. You're amazing. P.S, I really like the design on your hand. It's so pretty.

[@passionate322]

I'm an artist and have always wanted to learn to do henna for personal and to add to my business. You made it look easy. Thank you! I always wondered if it will stain the hand however.

[@fairyfox]

I'm so glad! Try it and see. I am usually pretty happy with my stain.

[@naziabehlim3488]

I love the way you explained it with the correct terminology! Please can you share where you can order the hand cut out as it’s super effective for practicing designs and cleaning off instead of paper and my hand? lol thanks!

[@fairyfox]

Yes of course- It is a product from Henna Caravan- and if you have any questions...they are henna geniuses over there- seriously.

This was so helpful! Am I able to draw out the design on the skin with a pencil or brow pencil or lip liner or would that not allow for the henna to stain?

@fairyfox, Hi I just subscribed to your channel, thank you for your fabulous video I love it, its SUPER helpful SO THANK YOU SO SOOO MUCH 😊❤ I needed to ask which is the best Henna cones to use in the uk, for pale hard to absorb skin, I need a good U.K. henna cone, but I need a good inexpensive 1 because I'm finding it very expensive online, but its my only way to currently get hold of it, but I need it to stain extremely dark like dark browny orange or red, or black even if possible, but like bridal Henna, I really love that Bridal Henna colour, but dont know which uk websites are best or even on Ebay is there a seller suggestion, I'd so VERY appreciate your help with this as I took a look at the links in the description, but found it extremely confusing as I don't understand how to work many websites except Ebay, TikTok etc. Pls advise me I'm really stuck here, Thank you SO SO much hun and bless you massively for your fabulous video. Its FANTASTIC ❤❤❤

[@fairyfox]

Hi, Thanks for asking. You will have more success if you ask a UK based artist. I am in the USA- so most of my advice wouldn't help you too much. Just make sure whatever you use is natural.

Do you let the henna dry? Wipe it off? All that paste, does the skin just absorb it really quickly? How long does it take to dry?

[@fairyfox]

About 20 minutes- then you scrape it off after several hours.

[@fuzzylimefairy]

So after you apply your design, how long do you leave it on the skin? Do you just wipe it off or wash off? Would love more information please. Thx

[@fairyfox]

Hello Arlene, of course, happy to help. The longer you leave it on the better- but it starts staining strait away. So anywhere from 2-24 hours- it will dry, so you just scrape it off. The color underneath is bright yellow-orange and takes two days to darken.

[@smidgekat5296]

You have sold it to me! 😍I just ordered my first Henna Cones. What a beautiful art! After applying, does it dry quite quick but then you leave it 6 hours before washing it off? Or longer? Thank you for the inspiration. Can't wait for the cones to arrive now - eeeeek!
