ASMR | Henna Design Procedure | Mehindi Art

In this ASMR episode BeiBei draws a henna design on Kally's hand.
Mehndi is a form of body art and temporary skin decoration usually drawn on hands or legs, in which decorative designs are created on a person's body, using a paste, created from the powdered dry leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). It is a popular form of body art among the women of South Asia such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka, and resembles similar practices found in North Africa and the Middle East. In the West, mehndi is simply known as "henna." [1]
According to a 2013 study, henna has been used as a dye for the skin (as well as the hair and nails) for more than 4,000 years.[2]
According to A Dictionary of Urdu, Classical Hindi and English Mehndi also refers to "the marriage-feast on the occasion of the bride's hands and feet being stained with henna (ḥinā)" or "an ark, or tabernacle, carried in solemn procession by some Muslims on the eve of the anniversary of the death of a person who died just as he was about to marry:-meṅhdī bāṅdhnā (-meṅ)."[3] It was originally used for only women's palms and sometimes for men, but as time progressed, it was more common for women to wear it[citation needed].
There are many variations and designs. Women usually apply mehndi designs to their hands and feet, though some, including cancer patients and women with alopecia occasionally decorate their scalps.[4] The standard color of henna is brown, but other design colors such as white, red, black and gold are sometimes used.[4]
Mehendi in Indian tradition is typically applied during Hindu weddings and festivals like Karva Chauth, Vat Purnima, Diwali, Bhai Dooj, Navraathri, Durga Pooja and Teej. Muslims in South Asia also apply mehendi during Muslim weddings, festivals such as Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.
In Hindu festivals, women often have henna applied to their hands, feet and sometimes the backs of their shoulders. Conversely, men usually have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest. For women, it is usually drawn on their palms, backs of their hands and on feet, where the design will be clearest due to contrast with the lighter skin on these surfaces, which naturally contains less of the pigment melanin.
Alta, Alata, or Mahur is a red dye used similarly to henna to paint the feet of the brides in some regions of the Indian subcontinent.

Y’all. It’s for the intention of an ASMR video to relax. The channel is literally an ASMR channel.
If this was a henna tutorial or something fine - but my god it’s ASMR and it’s a damn solid relaxing video.
You guys complaining are out of your god damn minds.

Yes, a black squirrel

[@lisal7287]

It's funny to read comments about how henna is applied from people who aren't even Indian. Lol. In india the process varies. Lol hilarious

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

So you mean her technique is good or bad?

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

I mean even tho I think the best mehendi designs are Hindi for me, but even as an Arab Henna is a part of our culture too. If you check in google you’ll see. And to be honest I’ve never seen a messed up technique as this and the proof is the bad result.

@Thomas Mills LMFAO

[@vitoriag]

[@GetToSleepFaster]

I'm so glad!

[@Antara200]

And she took so much of time for making the designs

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

I remember getting the same design the lady took 15min and was so perfectly done. But this uh

[@Henry23487]

[@GetToSleepFaster]

Thank you

[@Misterj23946]

thnx for the nice video i really enjoyed it! especially when your friend busted into the room lol

[@Antara200]

It is actually a mehendi

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

Not really

[@daniellenichols9757]

In all my years I have never seen henna applied this way.

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

Why

[@daniellenichols9757]

@@younicekeepgoing3939 it typically comes two main ways, one pre mixed in cones and two hand mixed in metal or glass bowles and then it sets over night in a refrigerated area and used at a later date but still applied in a hand made cone.

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

@@daniellenichols9757same it’s either cons or seringue in my country they use it in cones or seringue and even the consistency is nothing like this one! from someone whose culture is all about henna even our religion i’ve never seen this method and it’s extremely wrong!

[@Kittiesdawn]

Yikes!

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

To be honest her technique is very bad, she's complicating the process one hour which is way too much time for this design and the result is not good

[@Ashlee665]

+Grabs+ ITS NOT BAD +SLAPS+ ITS THE WAY THEY DO IT +stops+ I'll tell it to my mom +Angry+

[@Ashlee665]

P.S it's a unusual way to do henna

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

@@Ashlee665 I don't understand your 1st comment

[@younicekeepgoing3939]

@@Ashlee665 well it's very unusual and so wrong

[@milky243]

to be fair it would be very hard to copy a design exactly especially on a phone and in a probably low-end/budget place that she’s working in
