The festival of Karva Chauth is approaching and it will be celebrated on November 1 this year. Karva Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day of the month of Kartik and it holds special significance for married women who observe a fast on this day praying for the long life of their husbands. According to mythological beliefs, Goddess Parvati first observed this fast for Lord Shiva. To remove the troubles of Pandavas, Draupadi also observed a fast on Karva Chauth. On this day, women dress up and apply henna as part of the festivities.
Importance of applying henna:
Applying henna on Karva Chauth is considered auspicious. It is believed that the color of the mehendi shows the depth of love between husband and wife. If you want to enhance the natural richness of your henna, here are some tips that should be followed:
Start with clean hands:
It is important to wash hands before applying henna. Some women neglect this step, but it is important because henna does not stick well to hands with dirt or residual substances. Therefore, it is important to wash hands thoroughly with soap or hand wash before applying mehendi.

Avoid moisturizers:
It is best to avoid using moisturizers or creams on your hands before applying mehendi. Moisturizers may contain chemicals that can fade the henna color. Therefore, it is advised not to apply moisturizer before applying mehendi.
Let it dry naturally:
If you want a deep, natural color for your mehendi, let it dry naturally. Many women make the mistake of tampering with their mehendi before it dries completely, which can affect not only the color but also the overall design.

Clove Smoke:
To deepen the color of your henna, you can try the technique of using clove smoke. Place a few cloves on a hot pan and slowly pass your henna-stained hands through the rising smoke. This home remedy is very effective in darkening the color of the mehendi.
Lemon and sugar solution:
Another traditional remedy involves applying a solution of lemon and sugar. Squeeze lemon juice in a bowl, mix it with sugar, and make a slurry. Once your henna dries, carefully apply this solution to the henna. Keep in mind that apply the henna solution only after it dries completely.
