The side styled hairstyle worn by Diane has some requirements that include:

1. Whether you pull your hair to the right or left or do a double side style, you will need tresses that are long enough to nestle on or over your shoulders. Or you will need to clip-in extension strands to seal the deal 2. You will most likely have to spend a little time fine tuning your hair texture with either a hot iron, rollers or other hair texture creating tools. 3. To hold the texture in place, you will need to utilize styling products such as hair gel, mousse, lotions, creams or hairsprays. 4. If you desire volume along the top, you will need to either utilize volume enhancing products, some back combing and/or some other styling products for lots of lift. 5. If you desire a more complicated style like Carrie Underwood's, you may wish to work with a professional stylist.

Steal Diane's Sexy Hairstyle - Step By Step Instructions

All of the on-the-side hairstyles shown in this article follow the basic Getting Started Steps.

1. Shampoo hair with a product designed to address your hair's special needs. If you color, highlight or chemically treat your hair, select a shampoo that supports those treatments. If you prefer, use a dilution formula or a conditioning only (CO) treatment. Note: For extra volume in the crown or top of the hair areas, try PhytoVolume Shampoo or PhytoVolume Mousse Shampoo.

It is often easier to create all of these various on-the-side hairstyles when hair is slightly aged from the last shampoo. Newly washed, soft, or slippery hair, can often be trickier to work with then “day old” hair. If your hair is naturally slippery, you may wish to let your hair "age" a few hours after shampooing before attempting an of these styles. 2. Apply the appropriate rinse-out conditioners. (Avoid if hair is super thin or fine). Keep in mind that if hair is too soft it will be harder to back comb. 3. Finish with a cool/cold water rinse to close cuticles and encourage natural shine. 4. Towel blot and apply very light cocktail of desired leave-in detangler, conditioner or styling products (firm holding mousse or gel depending on your type and texture of hair). 5. For extra volume along the crown and sides, apply a firm holding or sculpting gel. 6. Blow dry hair straight using a blow dryer with a concentrator attachment. If hair is naturally curly or wavy, apply a straightening balm like Phytodefrisant or similar to damp strands. Use a boar's head style paddle brush and separate hair into individual sections.

7. Once hair is completely dry, create the desired part. Diane rocks a deep side swept part that directs a large section of hair up and over to the left side of her mostly square shaped face. 8. Use a brush or fingers to smooth hair along the hairline and the sides. 9. Pull all hair into a traditional side ponytail. You have the option to position the base of the pony behind the ear, or position the base underneath the ear lobe. Use a Bungee Band, Blax or similar "hair friendly" elastic band in the same color as your hair. 10. Use a small to medium barrel curling iron to create one soft curl to drape over one shoulder.

Note: As you release the curl from the iron, roll it around your finger and then pin against the scalp to allow the curl to cool into a tighter coiled shape.

11. When the single curl is cool, unpin it and use fingers to arrange. 12. Take one strand of hair from the ponytail and wrap it up and over the base. Use a bobby pin in the same color as your hair to secure the strand of hair around the base. Spray well with firm holding styling spray.

13. Apply a light touch of shine product to add shimmer. Remember not to apply too much shine product.

14. For extra dazzle, attach a jeweled ponytail wrap or pin a simple jeweled bobby along the hairline.

If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, you may prefer to create this style by blow dying your strands stick straight before pulling into the sleek side pony style.

Daily Hair Tip
To combat cowlicks apply pomade or setting gel to the spot & blow dry w/ nozzle aimed downwards. Longer hair helps weigh down cowlicks as will tiny barrettes or clips. Pulling hair into a ponytail or braids will tighten down the cowlick. Experiment until you get results.
