0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:08.2	Welcome to Breaking Beauty, the podcast, all about the breakthrough people, products,
0:12.6	and moments in beauty. We're your host, Jill Dunn and Carleen Higgins.
0:24.4	Hello and welcome back to Breaking Beauty Podcast. I'm your host, Carleen Higgins, and I'm here with my beauty bestie Jill Dunn.
0:28.4	Hello, Jill.
0:29.4	Hey, Carleen.
0:30.4	So spring has sprung and welcome everybody to the podcast all about the breakthrough people,
0:35.8	products, and moments in beauty coming at you every single
0:38.2	Wednesday. Have you all heard of the seasonal shed? Apparently we experience more hair shedding in

1:21.5	And Penny, by the way, everyone, she brought a key piece of technology to our meeting. And it was actually this thing called a
1:30.7	dermoscope. And it's, it kind of looks like a wand that has a really like a halo light at the
1:36.6	end of it. It's handheld. And it magnifies up to 200 times. So Penny could hold this wand in her hand, pointed at our
1:45.7	scalps, and then on a screen that was at her stylist station, we could watch her look at our
