New Delhi :As Karva Chauth approaches, married women are busy preparing for this special festival. One of the most important aspects of Karva Chauth is applying mehndi on hands and feet. And we all know how important it is to get that deep, dark mehndi color. But fret not, ladies! We have some amazing tips and tricks to help you achieve that perfect mehndi color that will make heads turn. These home remedies have been passed down from generation to generation, recommended by grandmothers and elder women in the family. Firstly, let’s talk about neem oil. After applying mehndi, wash your hands and then gently rub some neem oil on the dried mehndi. This will not only give a beautiful shine to your mehndi but also help in darkening its color. Now, you might be thinking, what about frequent hand washing? Well, it’s true that washing hands frequently can fade the mehndi color. So, try to avoid it as much as possible. Instead, use a mild soap or hand wash when necessary and pat your hands dry gently. Before bed, you can try applying Vicks or pickle oil on your mehndi. Yes, you heard it right! These unconventional methods are believed to enhance the color. Just a small amount will do the trick. Give it a try and see the results for yourself. If you want to give your mehndi an extra boost, mix some sugar with lemon juice and apply it on the dried mehndi. The sugar will act as an exfoliator and lemon juice will help in darkening the color. Leave it on for a few minutes and then wash it off gently. Now, here’s a tip that many women swear by – keeping mehndi on hands overnight. Yes, it might be a little uncomfortable, but hey, beauty comes with a price, right? Keeping mehndi on overnight can result in a darker color. Just make sure to wrap your hands with a plastic wrap or wear cotton gloves to avoid smudging. Lastly, the fumes of cloves can be used to enhance the color of mehndi. Just heat a few cloves on a hot tawa or pan and then inhale the fumes by keeping your hands above it. This might sound strange, but it’s a tried and tested method. However, it’s important to note that these remedies may not work for everyone. Every individual’s skin reacts differently, so it’s best to consult a professional if you want guaranteed results. Now that you have these amazing tips, go ahead and get ready for Karva Chauth. Remember, it’s not just about the fasting, it’s also about adorning yourself with the 16 shringar and looking your best.
