Nix08, it has to be saved in an online album then you'd just insert it the way you insert images in posts using the images URL. By clicking on the icon above that looks like this:
Alternatively, you could just type the code [ IMG]URL goes here[/IMG ] without leaving any spaces and when you submit, the image appears. Doing a preview before you send the PM is probably a good idea to make sure it displays as you wanted.

Simply_elle, if you click on the person's name (by their avatar), you will see a dropdown menu with "View Profile". It takes you to the person's profile page. Then if you click on the tab "About Me", and scroll to the bottom, usually the URL to the album and PW are located there.

When you begin to see split ends what should you do?? Sorry. I know it's a very very dumb question. The splits are very small and only on a few hairs but I want to nip it in the bud if possible.

Growinghealthhair Cut them off. IMO you shouldn't wait to see them. You should snip (dust) your ends regularly so that even the tiny ones you see never become visible. Splits start at a microscopic scale and that you can see them means they've been growing and getting worse. If you give them a chance, they'll get bigger and your hair'll break on its own. That IMO is what thwarts retention for many: thin ends that follow splits and break off because they are too weak.

growinghealthyhair Yes, dusting is when you snip a little amount. I do it every 8 weeks. But you don't have to keep that schedule. As a guide, every 6-8 weeks is what most pros will recommend. You can use that as a guide and either adopt it...or if you're anal about sealing your ends and protective styling, maybe you can wait a little longer. But if you notice the tiny splits you noticed, then use that as clue that you waited too long and shorten the time.

@Nix08, it has to be saved in an online album then you'd just insert it the way you insert images in posts using the images URL. By clicking on the icon above that looks like this:and in the window that pops up you paste the URL (make sure http:// isn't repeated when you paste the URL). You then hit "Enter" on your keyboard and voilà!
Alternatively, you could just type the code [ IMG]URL goes here[/IMG ] without leaving any spaces and when you submit, the image appears. Doing a preview before you send the PM is probably a good idea to make sure it displays as you wanted.
Nonie thank you very much. That's exactly what I thought. I guess I ought to get me an online album

Is it possible to DC and CW? I wanted to co-wash today, but I also felt like I needed to DC. But then I thought, won't the co-wash nullify the DC? I know...crazy. 
Are there upsides and/or downsides to co-washing and DC-ing?

Simply_elle When you reply to somebody or post something, look at that row where the bold, italics and underline buttons are. At the end of that row there's something that looks like a blue car speaker...at least that's what it looks like to me.
Highlight the person's name you want to mention, then hit that button. There might be other ways of doing it, but that's my step-by-step, fool-proof way of doing it. HTH!!!cia_garces

Also, I thought you had to actually put the "at" sign in and then do the steps I listed above, but when I mentioned your name just now, all I did was highlight your name and when I posted my message, I noticed that the at sign was automatically put it. Learn something new everyday!

cia_garces I think it'd be wasteful...unless the DC is a protein/reconstructor DC which usually requires a moisturizing conditioner to follow it, I would say the DC is enough if it's a moisturizing DC. Your hair can only contain so much moisture. So once you DC with moisture, your hair should be loaded in it and unable to accept anymore. So you'll just be washing the conditioner you CW with down the drain.
Since protein conditioners need moisture balance, if you DC with protein, then a CW afterward would not be a bad idea.
I am a stickler for following directions and both reconstructor DCs I use, AO GPB and Emergencée, ask that you follow with a moisturizing conditioner. So in this case a CW would be a good idea.

cia_garces I find using that icon you use more cumbersome. I just tried it and found that I first need to have the name of the person I want to mention in the spot where I want it...(so I can't just highlight it in the quote; I have to copy and paste it in the body of my text...then I have to highlight it... then click on the icon).
It's easier for me to just type @ then paste the name of the person immediately after it or just type it if it's easy like Nonie and when I submit, they get the mention.
I am now wondering if when mention fails it's that people use that icon. I've never used it, but every time I've mentioned folks they've responded meaning they got the mentions. Hmm... :scratchch

Nonie I never knew you could just type the "at" symbol then the person's name. Someone gave me directions a long time ago, and I've just did it that way since then.
The points you brought up were pretty much what I was thinking (about the CW and DC). But I never thought about following up a protein DC with a CW. Thanks for all the advice!!!

Wow, it's amazing how you can be on this site for so long and miss things like that.
I've seen the blue thing but never paid attention to it.

I used the icon; just checking to see if it worked? I never use the icon. I always use the "at" symbol. The icon is too many steps. The @ symbol is quick and painless, for me. ETA: Icon didn't work. When I viewed the post, it didn't show Nonie's name so I had to ETA the post and type the "@" symbol in front of Nonie's name. Perhaps it was user error. Will just stick to the @ sybmol.
