Henna design
In my culture, henna is usually applied on special occasions. You really don't need a special occasion though, it can be applied any time.I hardly apply henna cause I'm not that crazy bout it. I just like applying it when I feel like being creative & have a henna cone at home. Most henna cones in Canada suck big time & the good ones are usually only available during special occasions (& even those aren't that great at times either). I'll be posting up more designs that I've done. It's a learning process. Some I like, some I don't. & I'm slow at applying henna cause I don't practice enough.
Also, I do not use black henna. The henna that I apply is a red/brown colour. I usually take pictures of my henna right after I apply it, which is why it is dark in the pictures. I leave the henna on overnight & brush it off in the morning. This allows the colour to darken while you're sleeping. Some people also apply a lemon juice mixture (not quite sure what else is in it) on top on the henna right after they apply it, which also allows the colour to get darker, but I do not do that.
A blurry henna design that I did around 3 years ago.
Like I mentioned above, I will be posting more designs that I've done. I'll also be posting a few other designs that I've come across online & have saved in my henna folder, which I like & want to try at some point.

I tried to do henna once (and probably got one of the crappy cones you are talking about) and honestly the lines were to thick to make detailed lines like yours. :( boooo... keep the henna pics coming though - sooo cool!
