Yeah you must be asking yourself...did I get henna on my hands? Well of course not! The last thing I want is to get scolded by the consultant lol
There is a video posted by MakeupGeekTV on youtube (link below) and I thought 'Oh how lovely!'
The last time I had henna on my hands was probably 3 years ago! Yes I am not kidding, it was that long! I remember as a kid, my mum used to bring me to that lady's place who used to put henna on my hand for Eid and it was lovely! As a kid, I was so fascinated by it that I wanted to grow up fast so that I could put henna on my own hands. And sure enough, the day came where I finally did a beautiful design on my hands! I remember being so proud of myself! It came quite naturally to me even though I took ages to finish the design!
So as from that day, I started putting henna on my hands for special occasions such as Eid. I can't say that the designs I made were super nice but they were good enough and two of my cousins even requested me to put henna on them! *proud smile* lol
I remember having a huge folder of henna designs that I downloaded from the web and my mum also bought me two books so I could practice and get ideas from :)
Of course, once I started my clinical years, wearing henna on my hands were out of question! It would be purely unprofessional. Besides, it tends to get a little bit ugly when the henna starts to fade out.
Honestly, I am quite sure that I won't be wearing henna for a very long time. Firstly because I don't think that I would be able to draw designs on my hands anymore (lack of practice) and secondly because I do not really have the patience anymore. (Does that mean I'm growing old?) Time and place might not allow me to wear henna often but at least, I've had my moments of fun with henna as a kid and there's nothing to regret now...Only happy memories :)
So here's the link to the youtube video:
Unfortunately, I can't remember where my old pictures of my henna designs are but here's a picture from national geographic. Enjoy!
