Where moroccan mehendi comes from
It draws on North African henna and the tile and textile geometry of Morocco. Traditionally the patterns were believed to bring protection and good fortune, which is why they often form bands around the fingers and wrists.
How to recognise moroccan mehendi
- Straight-line geometry instead of curves
- Filled diamond and triangle blocks
- Banded finger designs and wrist cuffs
- Strong contrast between filled and empty areas

Tips before you book
- Geometric work shows any wobble, so pick an artist whose portfolio shows clean straight lines.
- Ask for solid fills to be packed thickly - thin fills stain unevenly.
- Moroccan bands pair well with an Arabic trail on the other hand.
