As embarrassing as it is to admit this, does anyone out there know how to untwist a curling iron cord?
I thought I would post it on Abbie's 5 Days 5 Ways Friday-Free-For-All blog.I totally love my curling iron as old and cruddy as it is and I'm not yet in the market to buy a new one.
However, every time I use the darn thing I get all tangled up. Sometimes it even comes unplugged from the wall when I use it.
My question is does anyone know a way of untwisting the cord itself?
Also would anyone have a way of cleaning/scraping the build-up of hair products off from the barrel?
For real you don't want a new one!? I think you could do better!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you aren't the only one with this problem!!!

I would hazard a guess it's cheaper to buy a new one....I have an iron with the same problem...as far as the twisted cord goes.
As for cleaning off the hair product gunk....you can try this:

wish I knew... I have the same problem with my blow dryer... but I think they are trying to shrivel up and die...perhaps the old girl is trying to tell you somethine? :-)
ReplyDeletemine does this too! so frustrating! i'm sure you could find remedies to both your problems on pinterest...lately there seems to be an answer for all things household! Good luck...and let us know what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI hate this problem. I straighten it out by hand. Turn to untwist n flatten by hand. I use Brillo, to clean it. Don’t soak it!!
