'Go There' Wednesdays: Kelly Rowland's 'Diana' 'Do

When Kelly Rowland showed up to makeup artist Scott Barnes' "About Face" book party last week, our jaws hit the floor. That hair! She looked like the long-lost love child of Diana Ross and Chaka Khan, and we thought it was fantastic. There's something so sexy about untamed, tigress hair -- and lucky for us, it's super-easy to achieve. Either A.) invest in a fabulous wig or extensions, or B.) create a head full of double-strand twists when hair is wet, let air-dry until damp, and then un-twist your hair. Finger style, scrunch, and blast with a diffuser for a couple seconds. Voila, your very own Diana/Chaka/Kelly moment!
