Your First HENNA - Tutorial for Beginners

Henna-a natural dye that temporarily stains the skin- has been creating exquisitely beautiful artwork on the human body for centuries. If you love it like I do, it’s also an exciting and sensible direction for a face painter to branch out. While it takes a lifetime to master, it only takes an afternoon to start!
If you like this short introduction, I would love for you to take my hour-long ‘Confident Henna from Start to Finish’ class on Skillshare: www.skillshare.com/classes/Co...
Here are links to the three online retailers I use most often for henna products:

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.

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

[@ghostypanda9184]

Thank you so much , now I can do my henna for Ramadan !

[@fairyfox]

You are welcome 😊

[@mheaz_nazy]

Yes samee

Uhm ive never heard of people doing henna for ramadhan but I've heard people do it for Eid

Sameee!

[@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.

[@PKOnTop]

I’m not gonna lie. This girl gives the BEST tips everrrr! So thank you. My mom knows henna but doesn’t know a design so this was just what I needed. Once again, thank you

[@fairyfox]

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]

Tdd

[@mariebk1]

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

[@katv3607]

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

[@fairyfox]

I just did my first henna! Thank you

[@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.
