3 Things to Know About the Over-Under Cord Wrapping Method

The over-under method prevents tangles by alternating loop directions Instead of looping the cord the same way each time, you alternate: one loop goes over (clockwise), the next goes under (counter-clockwise). This cancels out the natural twist that builds up with uniform looping.

Let the loop twist naturally as you bring it to your hand Don’t fight the cord’s natural motion. Just alternate directions and the cord will coil without kinks or knots.

The technique takes practice but becomes muscle memory quickly It feels awkward at first, but once learned, it pays off every time you pull the cord out. No more untangling before use.
