Tips for Safe Mehndi for Kids

Mehndi for girls isn’t about heavy, intricate designs — it’s about simple, safe, and fun patterns that make children feel included in celebrations. 

  • Always choose 100% natural henna (without black dye or chemicals).
  • Do a patch test before applying to check for skin sensitivity.
  • Keep designs minimal so girls don’t feel restless while drying.
  • Add fun glitter or stick-on stones after the mehndi dries for extra sparkle.

While mehndi is a fun and safe tradition that children love, it’s important to remember that girls’ delicate skin needs gentle care all year round, not just during festivals.
