In today's babycast, we discuss two questions that were sent to us by our listeners.First, we answer the question: can diffusers (and candles) that are used in salons affect retention? Second, we discuss a new solution for the lash allergy that we recently heard about. Basically, a lash artist uses "Flownase" on their client's lashes, and she claims it keeps the allergy at bay. We give her points for being creative, but we talked to our in-house medical director, Dr. Warren Stout, and he has some real concerns about this new solution. We love how so many of you now share posts or ask us questions about our industry...please keep it up. Just go to our IG page @lashcast and send your DM. We answer all DMs, and if we think it's a good topic for our podcast, we'll answer it there too. (and we'll do a better job making sure you get credit for the question...we failed to do that with today's episode).
