It is also a great way to help detox, as it helps activate the lymphatic system (which is responsible for carrying out all the waste and toxins we work so hard to cleanse our bodies of). It is low impact on the body,
Foam Roller- Foam rolling is most effective before a workout (not after). It is a great warm up that helps you prep your muscles and joints for a workout. It also boosts circulation and gets the lymphatic system pumping.

The dyson air wrap is amazing, it can be used for multiple hair types, with various size barrels to curl and wave. It comes with brushes to control, smooth or add volume. I found it easy to use.
It has intelligent heat control, it measures airflow temperature over 40 times a second, intelligently controlling the heating element to keep the temperature under 302 degrees F. preventing extreme heat damage. Coanda to curl- The Dyson barrels harness an aerodynamic phenomenon called the Coanda effect, to attract hair and wrap hair. Styling with air, not extreme heat.
