Use the wrong shampoo and you're guaranteed a bad hair day. Fine hair can't handle large doses of moisture - unless flat hair was the plan - but naturally curly hair cries out for it. Oily hair needs a loving, rebalancing shampoo and if you're washing daily, a mild type is vital. Pay careful attention to the bottle or ask the hairdresser for help.

Frederic Fekkai is one of the hairdressing firmament's biggest stars and stylist to A-list celebrities. Naturally, he has his own range of haircare. This glossing shampoo is infused with olive oil and is recommended for normal to dry, dull hair. This really is amazing stuff, providing lots of lovely shine and making the quality of the hair feel lustrous.

Piercing answers to your 'below-the-belt' questions

During my wild years in the Seattle punk scene, I did some pretty dumb stuff. By far though, getting my belly button pierced on stage at a particularly dingy punk club, no less was the glob of awesomely dumb icing on the top of my dumb teen-angst cake. But even though I left that special stage of my life with far fewer brain cells than I had going into it, I did learn something: Dont mess around with piercings.

A: From years of getting holes poked in my skin I have learned the fundamental risks of all piercings.

Fashionista taps your inner Stacy

Forget Anna Wintour. Stacy London may be the most feared woman in fashion.

London has become famous for the sharp critiques she gives makeover subjects on The Learning Channel's "What Not to Wear." She doesn't bat an eye when a person's entire wardrobe is tossed into The Learning Channel show's famous trash can and defies anyone who will tell her that 4-inch heels are uncomfortable.

London also has some fashion advice for those who are planning to see her presentation at the upcoming Women's Expo in Denver. "You're on notice," she said in a phone interview. "Don't wear white aerobic sneakers."

London, who was an assistant at Vogue and the senior fashion editor at Mademoiselle, says the pursuit of personal style is more than chasing trends. "There is something delightfully superficial yet surprisingly emotionally rewarding about looking good," she says.

Farmers in NSW going to pot

THE NSW Government has turned over a new leaf after decades of opposing commercial cannabis, revealing plans for a new scheme to grow the plant on an industrial scale.

It will introduce legislation in weeks to allow farms to grow hemp, the fibres and oil of which can be used in food and clothes, biofuels and skin-care products.

The state's first legal hemp crop has been approved by police and will contain only tiny amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound that some people smoke for recreation. It will be planted later this year, with farmers no longer needing their licences to be approved by the NSW Health Department.

"Industrial hemp fibre produced here in NSW could pave the way for the establishment of a new viable industry that creates and sells textiles, cloth and building products made from locally grown industrial hemp," said the Primary Industries Minister, Ian Macdonald, who will oversee the licences for the new crop.
