सवाल
I cannot draw. Can I still learn mehendi?
Yes. The course starts with simple lines and shapes. Daily practice builds speed and neatness.
Is ready-made cone mehendi safe?
Natural henna is generally safe. Avoid cones or 'black henna' that stain instantly or very dark black, as they may contain harmful chemicals. Always do a patch test for sensitive skin.
Can I earn from mehendi?
Yes. Weddings, Karva Chauth, Teej, Eid and other festivals bring regular work.
How long is the course?
1 month, with daily practice.
