Hi, I'm Valerie, and you're listening to the Beauty Brains.

Welcome to the Beauty Brains, a show where real cosmetic chemists answer your

beauty product questions and give you an insider's look at the

cosmetics industry. This is episode 221.

I'm your host Valerie George and with me today is Perry Romanoi.

Hi Perry.

Hello Valerie!

On today's show we're going to be answering questions about is blow drying hair at low heat better

for your hair than air drying how important are amino acids and hair care products and

how do you go about studying cosmetic science and we'll cover some beauty news too.

But first, Perry, I saw you random marathon?

Well, sort of, I ran a marathon.

Now, you know that I'm a bit of a runner, right?

Not just a runner, but a jogler, right? You run and juggle. Or you, yeah, you run and

juggle at the same time, right? So I do, yes, every time I run, I juggle. And I'm a streak runner too, which I have not missed a single day of outdoor running in 11 and a half years.

How many do you track it in days though right? Yes 4,100 and I think I'm up to 62 today 4,162 days. Yeah, so that's my little project. You know what's impressive about that before before we talk about the

marathon is that you live in probably the most unfriendly weather city that I can think of, Chicago, and...

It can certainly get a little cold and hot.

And snowy and wet, and yeah, well, I mean that's pretty impressive.

Yeah, there are some days, days I was out there in that

polar vortex and it was negative 20 F and you know you just bundle up so anyway I

had this notion my friend told me about this idea, you know, what can you do during this pandemic times and your quarantine?
