We know there are fans fans of Nick Arrojo and What Not To Wear who haven't entered to win this amazing giveaway: an autographed copy of his new book Great Hair plus a set of Nick's signature hair care line especially chosen for your hair type!

We'd like to introduce you to Raiquel Cole, CEO of Amourai Organique, a company specializing in all-natural beauty and hair products.

You see Sarah Jessica Parker, realize she's in her 40's, and begin to long for her loose curls. Don't just wish for it, make it happen! You don't have to be 20 years old to have amazing hair. Let's look at a few celebrities who break the mold and have fabulous fringe, regardless of their years. Remember folks, age ain't nothin' but a number!

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.

How much fun is this hairbrush? We know, we know... "hairbrush" and "fun" don't usually go together in the same sentence, but we think these brushes are worthy of breaking that rule. We especially love the "Vixen" and "Femme Fatale" models, but there are so many other designs to choose from as well. These brushes would make such great gifts, and can you imagine the conversations you would start if you whipped one of these babies out of your purse? Get your own now for only $10 at Jenny's Gifts and Fine Art.

Our beauty routine is really feeling this poopy economy. Our roots are about two inches long, our beauty closet is down to bare essentials, and we're just dying for something to give!

Fashion week doesn't only bring on clothing trends. No, no friend. It also shows us just how to wear our hair and makeup for the next few months too.

So what exactly are the top hair trends for the spring season? The simple bun and long, straight hair parted right down the middle. Fabulously easy indeed.

The way to get the long, straight hair look is obvious. Dry your hair and use your straightening iron! Voila! Needn't say more.

The bun on the other hand was reincarnated dozens of different way. We saw librarian buns, side buns, braided buns, messy buns, sleek buns, and pouf buns. This bun-o-mania means that us lay folk at home can A) do the look easily ourselves and B) stylize to suit our personalities.

So check out the gallery, find a bun that looks good to you, and rock it!

I'm not the biggest beauty junkie, but I do like trying out products when all the magazines are touting them as the next miracle creation. Most of the time, I'm less than impressed, but when I do find a new addition to my makeup bag or medicine cabinet, it's so worth it. (I will never regret the $17 I spent on my Shu Uemura eyelash curler.)

So I decided to give Frederic Fekkai's Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse ($28) a whirl after reading about it seemingly everywhere this month. The silicone-based treatment promises it "binds shine, recharges color, and adds silkiness to the hair." Kind of like a DIY glossing treatment--which was just what my blonde highlights needed after a long summer.

A lot has been made recently of Madonna's look -- because really, how does a 50-year-old woman have a body like that? But now, she's hoping to have a little more attention paid to her hair.

We all want a salon worthy blow out each time we step out the door. You might think it's easier said than done unless you have Ken Paves on speed dial. Ah, but you are mistaken grasshoppa. It really is as easy as 1-2-3 to achieve what we like to call the Holy Grail – the perfect blow dry.

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.
