Physically bending crowns (leafy stems)

Hello. I have had a heart-shaped lucky bamboo plant for several years. There are the original stalks, and then there are three growths from these stalks, which I have read are "crowns" which grow the leaves. These crowns are getting rather tall. I have read about encouraging bending of the stalks through sunlight, since they grow towards light, but I am curious about actually taking the tall leafy crowns and physically wrapping/bending them around the stalks so they are shorter and using some type of twist tie to keep them in place. Will this do any harm to the plant?
