Now readers can create their own dazzling mehndi designs on themselves and their friends. Using organic, natural henna, The Mehndi Kit contains everything one needs to decorate their body as subtly as they wish or as boldly as they dare. Unlike tattoos, mehndi is temporary and will fade away within one to six weeks of application. And no artistic talent is needed--anyone who can draw a squiggly line or write a name can become a mehndi artist.

Good with art, bad if you bought the kit.,
By Kendra (Silver City, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mehndi Kit; Learn the Traditional Art of Henna Body Decoration (Misc. Supplies)
This henna book had some of the best mehndi designs for hands I have seen. Most books give you beautiful pictures but don't take the time to explain each design. This book does. The hand art is a must for people starting out. The only bad thing about this book and the kit it comes with is it has the smallest amount of henna I have seen in any kit. 5 grams isn't much at all. Plus, the solution to mix with the henna is a dry crystalized form that doesn't appear to have all natural ingredients. I think this is bad since Mehndi is a purely natural body art. The mehndi oil included in the kit is the oddest smelling of any kit I have bought too. If you want illustrations buy the book but if you want henna buy the Return to Tribal Body Adornment Kit.

THE BOOK IS GOOD-------THE KIT IS DANGEROUS!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mehndi Kit; Learn the Traditional Art of Henna Body Decoration (Misc. Supplies)
I am a professional mehndi artist and I have a problem with the kit alone because it contains some ingredients that are not safe. The traditional oils for mehndi are Eucalyptus or Clove oil. The kit contains Terpinol (a very close relative of turpentine) to mix with the henna. It's not safe at all. Other than that, I think the book was nice and informative.

Good Book, Horrible Kit!!,
By Jon (P5YCH0T1C@aol.com) (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mehndi Kit; Learn the Traditional Art of Henna Body Decoration (Misc. Supplies)
The book I found was well informative and was good for practicing, but the kit was a mess. The instructions were very ambiguous and the paste came out frothy and light. Not only was the paste horrible, but the cone aplicator tore because the plastic was too thin and the paste was all clogy. But other than that, the book was great, but i wouldn't waste my money
