Lifechangers: Nurse Jamie Road Tests Hair Oils
Long sexy tresses are hot in Hollywood these days. How do stars keep all that hair looking healthy and shiny? This week, "Extra" Lifechanger Nurse Jamie Sherrill talks about one of the hottest trends in hair -- hair oils.

Here are some great tips and products for the best-looking hair!
