Simplify Your Bathroom With A Trick For Wrapping The Cords On Your Hair Tools

Hair tool storage can be tricky because their long power cords tangle so easily. If you have a habit of carelessly tossing hair tools into a drawer, you know that it seems those cords have a mind of their own. They often end up in unsightly bunches that can make it difficult to keep your bathroom clutter-free. Luckily, there is an easy wrapping technique that makes it nearly impossible for the cord to come undone. All you need to do is loop the cord around your thumb, wrap it around the handle of your hand tools, and then pull the end of the cord back through the loop. This will help eliminate clutter and simplify your bathroom.

This method secures the cord so that you can neatly store the tool without having to worry about it unraveling. After you use this technique to keep cords in place, you can look forward to maintaining a bathroom that is organized and decluttered.

How to securely wrap a cord around the handle of your power tool

For a visual tutorial of how to perform this cord wrapping technique, take a look at the Instagram video above, posted by user @the.shortcut.girl. Although @the.shortcut.girl tightly wrapped the cord around the handle, remember to employ a loose wrapping technique during the step. Wrapping the cord tight around the handle of your power tools can cause damage. You should be able to wrap the cord around loosely, pull the end through the loop, and still achieve the same results. Once done wrapping, pull the plug on the end of the cord through the loop you created during step one.

Lastly, the content creator tugged on the opposite end of the cord at the bottom of the tool to ensure that everything was secure. Although loosely wrapping the cord around your hair tool should allow you to pull this hack off safely, you might prefer to use a different method altogether. A good alternative is to fold the cord accordion style and wrap a hair tie or scrunchy around it so that it does not unravel. You could also wrap one of the Self-Gripping Cable Ties around the cord to keep it secure instead. Feel free to use the additional ties from the set to organize other loose cords in your home as well.
