Chicago Pile 1 (CP-1) – Scientist of the Day

Exactly 80 years ago today, on Dec. 2, 1942, at precisely 3:25 PM, the final control rod was removed from a pile of graphite blocks laced with uranium, hidden beneath the stands of old Stagg Field at the University of Chicago, and the world’s first man-made, self-sustained nuclear reaction began.

To quickly note, I received this free from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

This hair treatment comes in a large syringe and contains 25 ml (0.84 oz) and has a very strong scent which I think you'd find with a lot of hair treatments.

There is a small lid on the syringe and it can be used multiple times (though I used this treatment as a one-time thing).

My hair type is fine/curly and my hair can get very dry. This is my hair before shampooing/hair treatment, it's quite dry at this point.

I used the hair treatment after shampooing. Recommended use is to apply to damaged hair in need of repair and rinse after 5-10 minutes. In the case of severe damage, apply and leave on longer than 10 minutes or apply with heat for greater effect.

I smoothed the entirety of the treatment through my hair and combed it through to evenly coat everything.

I let my hair air-dry and I didn't apply any styling stuff to my hair. My hair dried and my curls were very tight (for me) and there was a lot of added volume. It also added a lot of shine and the treatment really did leave a coating effect after rinsing it out.

After using, my hair had a smooth feeling that really lasted a couple of days and it did smell kind of strongly of the treatment for the first day and not so much the second day. It gave my hair a lot of shine and volume and didn't weigh my hair down. It's probably going to work well for people with fine hair like mine. The strong scent wasn't too bad, but if you don't like strongly scented hair care, it's best to avoid this one. While there was a lot of shine, I do think this treatment does not hydrate as well as I would've liked. I left the treatment in for about 20 minutes.

What I like: there is a lot of product and it really smooths through hair really easily. It really adds shine and volume to fine hair and it really does leave a protective coating on the hair. The ingredients are really nourishing and moisturizing. I personally don't mind the scent and the cost of this treatment is really affordable, I also really like the packaging. What I don't like: the coating feeling is a little weird but at least it doesn't weigh my hair down. I feel this isn't as hydrating as it should be.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Nourishing

Smoothing

Good ingredients

Nice packaging

Inexpensive

Adds lots of shine

Protects hair

Cons:

Wish it was more hydrating

Has a strong scent (good/bad)

The coating feeling is a little weird

Would I buy this?

Yes, I think it's a good product

Rating: 8/10

This must be CP-1. Oh. My. Gawd.

[calvin-af-crone]

I’ve been thinking about what CP-1 might be. If it has anything to do w/ this snippet, it might stand for “Concussive Percussion”. HA! 

Also, there’s room at the bottom of this graphic for the Calvin Harris brand logo & line for whoever features on Hypnagogic (I Can’t Wait). I’m hoping it’s Chaka Khan for an authentic injection of Funk Diva-ness.

Calvin Harris Just Dropped His Entire New EP [MUST LISTEN]

A full day ahead of when he first said his new project Love Regenerator would drop, the new EP from Calvin Harris is officially here. The project contains...

...four tracks, “Hypnagogic (I Can’t Wait)” and “CP-1” and edits of both.

First thing to note is that Love Regenerator will be a distinct alias for this more techno/house-influenced sound from Calvin, as the name is now registered as its own verified artist on Spotify. Second, this new sound is very techno/house-influenced as Calvin reveals his inner Chemical Brothers.

“Hypnagogic” is a serene and beautiful song with an incredible melody, lots of acid synths, and an addictive break beat. “CP-1” on the other hand is a harder techno song with pounding kicks and minimal synths, but still bringing in a bit of that acid sound.

This is miles and miles apart from his Funk Wav Bounces project, but more in line with his most recent single, his 2019 update of “I’m Not Alone” released last year.
