I´m translating a set of instructions of a hair braider. The original sentence is: "Mantenga el botón hacia atrás. Los ganchos girarán en sus propios ejes, enrollando el cabello"
The expression "girar en sus propios ejes" could be "turn in its own axis"?
The expression "girar en sus propios ejes" could be "turn in its own axis"?

A less formal version as most people using a hair braider might be a little put off by the term axis. Just a suggestion!
