hi, y'all! You make me feel so good
smile.gif
Thank you all so very much. To be compared to the late Aaliyah is a huge compliment

Sticks are cheap, asian beauty supply store, $1 a pair

(also The Limited has some very pretty ones, they're a little pricier)
I am not relaxed straight. I barely leave the relaxer in for longer than it takes me to apply it to my whole head. So therefore, when I airdry my hair, which is what I do for a bun, it's very very very FULL! When I do my bun, it just turns out full and thick, b/c my hair is full and thick. The only way I smooth it down is with heat, which is why it's smoother in the pics.
My (non)regimen is just conditioner washes & buns every day or every other day w/the cheapest conditioners (suave or V05), oil and a bun. I deep condition every week w/cholesterol and olive oil, and then I relax when I have too much new growth to deal with. I hardly ever wear it down... maybe once a month, if that.
 
Those buns are to die for! Very fashionable

. I think that I will be picking up a few of those hair sticks myself.

Thanks for the info Caramela! I have been playing around with the bun following your method and I think I will eventually be able to get that look after a bit more practice. Plus, my hair is straight right now - hopefully, it will be better once I wash! Thanks for the tip - I'll have to be on the lookout for more hair sticks!!

You are a great looking lady with a goodlooking family. I enjoyed your albums very much.

Your hair is really the bomb!!!
 
Beutiful pics. Your family is so attractive. I been wanting to post pic, and after seeing yours, I really wanna. Go Mela, Go Mela!
 
What can I say that hasn't already been said? You are a gorgeous girl and have a beautiful family. Keep up the great work Mela. You are such an inspiration.

Not only is your hair and family gorgeous but you are as well... I HATE YOU!!!

Nah seriously your hair is b-e-a-uuuutiful!
 
beautiful! love the bun! I know, so many people have asked you but drill it in please! do you secure the bun with just the sticks or are they decor? if your bun is only held by sticks how the heck did you do it? I can't figure it out!
 
Beautiful pics and family. I love your bun... I'll have to ask you for a tutorial when I get enough length!
 
It's secured with the sticks only, and thank you all so much for your kind words. It takes some practice but it can be done. It's like you weave the stick into the bun. I wish I could explain in writing but it's one of those things that's easier explained visually. I'm sorry

Caramela - I've been practicing that technique and I think I will have it down in a couple of weeks!! Thanks for posting that - I have newfound hope with cute buns now!
 
Lovely hair, makeup, clothes - and girl those pounds are FLYING off of you aren't they?

You were by no means heavy before but you look particularly lean now!
wink.gif
Gorgeous.
 
WOW. I am impressed with the progress. Excellent hair, make-up and you're really pretty too. But haaa... the hair just enhances more!! I think long **healthy** thick hair is a beautiful thing. I believe that so many black man have been brain-washed into thinking that long hair was not possible unless mixed or of different race. This board has really been proving the odds totally wrong. You're just inspiration and a perfect example of what a little time and care can accomplish!!
 
You are so cute Caramela-congrats
Have you been giving your friends and family advice cuz they are all lookin good too?
Keep up the good work!

I was thinking the same thing. She does look like Aaliyah (the one with her cousin and godson)

She also had a picture where she favors Laila Ali!

Beautiful pictures! wonderful progress!!
 
Caramela you are as beautiful as I remember you to be. It's been a while since I posted on this forum but I had to add my comments to this thread. You and your family are just GORGEOUS. Keep up the great work sweetie. All your hard work is really paying off.
