Yes, that is lame. However, even if the tie is placed on or in the
twist the twist will UNtwist. The tie does not keep that from
happening. Don't you see?
You would have to twist the end in a section of several inches, bend
it and secure the 'bend' with the twist in order to keep the twist in
the end.
Probably too complicated for a woman. TEE HEE
