New protection for people buying timeshare and holiday club holidays. Is a fashionable new hair treatment safe? And why people are visiting the shops - before buying online.

We'll be looking at the introduction of new regulations for timeshare and holiday club holidays, and we'll be asking if they'll stamp out the problems rogue traders have caused in the industry in the past.

We'll be investigating whether a fashionable new hair treatment is safe. Brazilian hair smoothing treatments promise to transform frizzy hair into smooth glossy locks for up to 12 weeks. But some of the products have been banned elsewhere in the world.

And why more of us are visiting the shops to research our purchases before spending our money online instead.
