Lately I've been mesmerized by Megan Fox's very long black hair. It's definitely a sexy look, but not an easy one to maintain. If long hair gets damaged it can look straggly and altogether unflattering. I'm working on growing my hair out and am trying to keep it healthy with regular deep conditioning treatments and occasional trims to keep split ends at bay. Want to grow your hair out? First find out if it's the right look for your face. Then, keep it healthy with a good hair mask weekly.

So Gwen Stefani gave birth to baby boy number two. I'm not so sure I like the name choice -- Zuma Nesta Rock -- but I guess it's her right to name her child anything she pleases. I'm a huge Gwen fan so I can't get too down on her. My colleague Sarah swears there must be a competition in Hollywood to see who can come up with the weirdest name for their child -- she may be right!

Gorgeous Scarlett Johansson seen here at the "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" premier in Los Angeles proves that it's not always a fashion/beauty no-no to wear makeup that matches your clothes. Often times it can be a bit forced, but here Scarlett rocks the look. Her orange-red lips and rust- colored eye shadow paired with her orange-red dress are a knockout. She makes the lovely Penelope Cruz look like a wall flower -- not an easy thing to do. Check out some of Scarlett's other red carpet moments in our Scarlett Johansson Photo Gallery.

OK, as a cautious lipstick wearer myself, the idea of black lipstick is a bit terrifying. If you're like me, you could try an alternative -- black lip gloss. Since this is such a hot trend, it's sure to pop up in numerous collections. But Lancome has taken the lead by announcing a limited-edition lip set featuring a black gloss and a red lipstick.

You may already use astringent after cleansing to tone your skin or help shrink pores, but the makers of Sea Breeze wanted to share a few ways of using it that you may have never thought of:

A new politically themed jewelry line at Claire's is aiming to get young people out to vote. Check out the cute buttons and necklace. Do they inspire you to head to the polls? Or maybe just to Claire's?

We all know that we should be using a product that contains SPF every day and now Lisa Hoffman Skincare is making it even easier. They're giving away a free day cream from their Night & Day Skincare collection for people who sign up for e-mail updates from the line and refer a friend (your friend gets a freebie too). Here's what you have to do (while supplies last):

I was going to post a transcript of our staff's banter on the premiere of "The Hills" season four, but frankly, my fingers couldn't keep up. One of the biggest debates however was whether Whitney Port, above left, had hair extensions like her costar Audrina Patridge, above right. I don't know ... I thought her hair looked pretty natural. Get a recap with the MTV trailer and compare her to Audrina and Heidi in our Celebrity Hair Extensions gallery. What do you think?

One of my colleagues here at TotalBeauty.com, Kerstin, recently completed a half-marathon (congratulations Kerstin! See her finish photo above) and because she's such a dedicated runner and a naturally gorgeous woman, I had to know what products she uses before a race and in general. She's 40 but doesn't look a day over 30. Maybe it's all of the exercise and the fact that she eats a lot of vegetables and takes vitamins, but I think it also has to do with her beauty regime.
