Gold medalist and super-cutie Nastia Liukin has partnered with Herbal Essences to sell haircare products and make herself more famous. We support that.

We also support the half-updo advice in the above video. The half-up look, recently totally rocked by Duffy in the Mercy video, is sexy and smart. It's a wholesome, substitute teacher-esque look that almost everyone can pull off. If your face looks unbalanced when you pull your hair back, play with the angle of your bangs and letting pieces down in the front.

Most of us are always getting suckered into trying new, innovative beauty products. Well the time has come to put down your drugstore cards and get down to the bare bones of it all. Try these simple recipes for hair that is naturally gorgeous.

We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

I'll admit it, I have major hair-envy. My hair is blonde, so naturally I couldn't stop imagining myself with beautiful auburn tresses until I tried to achieve it myself and ended up as an unfortunate Kool-Aid inspired redhead. I've gone from a nearly waist-length mane to the most delicate of pixie cuts, and have changed my highlight/lowlight combination more times than I can count. My piece d'resistance, however, was when I convinced a stylist, against her will, to give me a body wave.

To the poor stylist's credit, she warned me about potential frizz problems. Apparently, when you chemically curl already chemically dyed hair, you run the risk of ending up with frizzy feathers, rather than actual hair follicles. This, I'm afraid to say, is exactly what happened to me. Never one to dwell on the negatives, however, I embarked on a mission to find the best frizz-fighters out there.

Frederic Fekkai's Luscious Curls Curl Enhancing Lotion ($18.50) wins the award, in my opinion, as the best frizz-taming product available. Fekkai's shampoo and conditioner (both $20, from the Luscious Curls line) are also excellent, as they provide mucho moisture, which my feather-hair definitely needed. Other good products include Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat ($12), and Bumble & Bumble's Curl Conscious Curl Creme ($29).
