Before picking any mehndi back hand design, we want to share some basic things that you must keep in mind, such as: 

1. Size of your hands like palms and fingers

Not every design can be drawn on your palms and fingers because if the size of your palm is small, then the elaborated design is tough to draw or if they are really big then smaller designs won't look good. The same lies with the size of the fingers. Therefore, we suggest choosing an appropriate design according to the dimension of your hand.

2. How elaborate do you wish your design should be

Whether this is your first Karwachauth or it's been a few years, the length of the design and style matter. The extension of the design matters according to the outfit, your liking, and the number of bangles or hand accessory you are wearing. 

3. The color of the Mehndi

The best part of being a millennial is we are living at the peak of creativity with immense variety. There are several mehndi colors available like green, brown, red, and white. 

4. How best it contrasts with your style of outfit

The kind of attire you choose is another crucial point to remember while finalizing the mehndi back hand design. 

5. The artist you are choosing

The henna artist is the sole creator of your dream design, hence, you need to be very particular about who you are choosing and what are there expertise is.
