Directly next to the "preview/post message" button there is a button that says "upload attachment". Click that button. Then a box will pop up asking you to go to the directory/file of the picture and what you want to name the picture. Voila!

It has to be on your computer or on a disk. Like this...which I've saved to my computer so that I can see if I can find a stylist who can make my hair do this:

Fabulous hair

renata you must not have very nappy hair if your hair cant do that and is long as you say. If you have nappy hair and blow dry it with a pick use Ultra Sheen Creme Press it will do that easily.

Actually, my hair is much nappier than that and the top is longer, but I don't know exactly how to cut it. My texturized hair is nappier than that. It has none of that "curl" that she has. It's very DENSE and is about that long when it's blow dried straight, but is maybe half that length when it's natural. My hair doesn't curl when it air dries...it just...becomes a hassle that NO COMB can penetrate....that's not a joke.

I wonder if she has some chemicals in hers.

It might be best if my hair didn't look like that....because if it did, I'd go shopping all day, every day, JUST TO BE SEEN.

You're just a jealous witch. That's her real hair. Not every black woman you see with long hair is getting it from the store. Her daughter obviously got a lot of her hair genes.

LOL Renata, Diana Ross really does wear hair extentions. I think she was one of the first black women who made the "sewn in weave" very popular. She even has her own line of wigs/hair extensions. Also, her daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross is biracial which is why she has a very soft, fine curly texture of hair.

On Traci, I wasn't referring to the texture, but that fullness and thickness. I'm sure she didn't get that from a white man.

I still won't believe that's a wig until you give me a quote from her or her hairdresser.

It's not a wig, it looks like some kind of hair integration techinique; each strand of hair is adhered to other strands of her real which makes it look so natural.

Also, the length, and fullness of her hair varies so much that its obvious she has been wearing extentions for years. Just a few weeks ago, Diana was on American Idol, and she had a much shorter curly look than the picture you posted above.

Natural hair doesn't look the same every day. In the picture above, her hair is obviously pulled back from her face. It may have even been pulled outwards a little just for the picture and to make it look bigger and fuller, and may have hairspray to hold it back. Photographers also know how to use a fan to give that "wind in your face" look.

Depending on how the hair is done, how the hair is dried (blow dried vs. air), whether it was styled dry vs. wet, the length can look different from one day to the next. When I wear my hair in an afro, it looks like it wouldn't even touch my shoulders, but when it's twisted people are surprised that it's this long.

Then again, when you think of PERFORMERS and ENTERTAINERS......this hair may just be part of her DIVA QUEEN image.

Renata,

That is not HER natural hair. That is some Indian woman's natural hair, but not Diana Ross's for sure. She is wearing a high grade remi line of hair extentions; and the technique is probably fusion or some kind of hair integration method that takes days to be done. It looks extremely natural because curly hair is easy to play around and mesh with most Black hair textures. Many African American celebrities wear weaves/wigs, and Diana is no exception. The length, curls, and textures varies way too much; at one point you'd see her with a curly weave that is about 18-22 inches, then a few weeks later it's 12 inches. That is too dramatic of a change for it to actually be all hers.

In interviews many ppl ask her if that is her real hair, and she always dodges the question. Cause if ALL of that was really her real hair, she'd be shouting it to the roof tops that it's all hers when asked about it.

La la la la la....I ain't listening....la la la la la...

LOL

Well, all I can say is IF that is a weave....Wench got a damn good hairdresser.

To go from 18-22 inches to 12 inches is no big deal when you have SCISSORS.

My hair was 21 inches about 2 months ago, and now it's only 17 inches.....you guessed it: scissors.

LOL......

not trying to argue with you.
