There are already a few glossary entries with Kordel/kordeln in the glossary, but I don't think they quite fit here.
The context is a sheet of instructions for a model's hair design in a commercial.
· Folien in schmale Streifen falten und diese um einzelne 1 cm breite Partien des Oberkopfes kordeln
· unter die gekordelten Partien jeweils eine Folie als Schutz legen
· in der vorderen Stirnkontur dünne Partien abteilen, kordeln, diese auf gelbe Creative Shaper aufdrehen und im Anschluss ca. 30 min unter dem Climazon trocknen

Comment: "Thank you Ellen and upparis. In the end I decided to go with "plait" - never received any complaints from the customer so I can only assume it was ok!"

twine
In the 1st sentence:
and twine these strips all along
2nd sentence:
under each foil-entwinded...
3rd sentence:
entwine in foil

Oops - typo in \"2nd sentence\" part (one \"d\" too many). Should read :
under each foil-entwined
--------------------------------------------------

Aother simpler word might be \"wind\" and then \"wrap\"
1st = wind foil all along // maybe \"all around\"
2nd = under each strand wrapped in foil
3rd = wrap in foil
I\'m assuming that we\'re wrapping strands of hair here, but doubt just struck - they\'re not braiding this foil around the head, are they ?
