What this routine helps with
Decorate hands and feet for a celebration.
Anyone preparing for Eid, a wedding or a girls’ night.
In Morocco, women gather before a wedding for the henna night and decorate hands and feet with natural henna. You already know the idea from inai and the malam bainai.
Invite a friend, put on music and enjoy the evening: the henna does the rest.
Before you begin
Fine natural henna powder (Lawsonia inermis) Warm water, a little lemon juice and sugar, a small cone or applicator Old towel and a free evening
Step 1
Gather
Invite friends, put on music and set out sweets. The evening is part of the ritual.
Step 2
Mix the paste
Stir henna powder with warm water, a little lemon juice and sugar into a smooth paste. Let it rest a few hours.
Step 3
Draw
Fill a small cone and draw your design on clean, dry hands and feet.
Step 4
Let it set
Keep the henna on for several hours, then scrape it off. Do not wash for a few hours so the colour deepens over a day or two.
Choose natural henna, orange to brown. Keep hands dry for a few hours so the colour deepens.
Make it last
A little oil or rose water on the stain keeps it looking rich for days.
