Oh, hey, this is an episode of Smologies, and if you are unfamiliar.

Smologies are shorter and classroom-safe kid-friendly versions of our classic episode.

So this has been cut down.

A lot of my potty mouth and the juicier details have also been removed so if you want the full episode

you can find it in the link in the show notes but this one this one's safe for the whole car

all right cool enjoy, it's me. It's your

hairdresser's daughter with a cool perm, Ali Ward. I'm here with another

episode of ologies. Are you ready to hair trickology yes you are you

wispy beast let's do it okay trickology the study of hair here we are are. So Thrich means hair in Greek, which morphed into trick, which means

hair. So I'm going to give you a super quick overview to give you some context for this episode. So, hair. It's made of three parts. There's an inner

part called a medulla. Then around it, there's a cortex, which contains keratin, that's

protein, it makes it strong, and it also contains different kinds of melanin

pigments that give a color, and then there's an outer cuticle, it looks like a series of overlapping

scales, kind of like a pangolin and it repels water. You got your velous hair, that's your fine,

barely visible peach fuzz unless you're standing in bright light in a barbecue and then you're like

could everyone see my face hair and terminal hair that's the big wiry guys so boom you know

a lot about hair right now.

Okay, so in this episode of Trigology,

I sat down with a Yale researcher and professor

who focuses on skin and hair regeneration.

So I met her through an internet pal and ologite.
