We've watched Sam go through the techniques to cut a twisted fringe and a side part fringe. So many of our fans have raved about this simple technique as it takes the place of using diagonal partings. Sam teaches us that low elevation and finger angle is key for these techniques as well as cutting on dry hair. When we use diagonal partings we run the risk of elevating as we bring down each section. These techniques are so much faster and easier for us as stylists and not so easy for a client to do on themselves!
Learn the proper mechanics of the Twist Bang Cut and simply your life behind the chair!
Hi, my friends great question from Tracy, and you know what I'm so happy that a lot of you are loving, cutting the twisting French. How you twist cut the fringe. Now Tracy has a great question on it: buzz cuz, apparently there's some issues and I've got the solution for you Tracy. I love the twist Bank odd, but some turn out better than others is this because of where the part is Tracy? Yes, sometimes it can be. Where the part is but a lot of times it's about how you're twisting it the angle and the degree of elevation that you have. I want to warn you. You always keep the degree of elevation low, never elevate it. So you keep it as low as you can. Allow me to demonstrate I'll give you two types to do here: okay, so let's go through. I pre suction it for you, so you can watch the technique in the method. Okay, we're going to come through when you cut the twist of Fringe. You always start with the hair in your cutting hand. So if you're right-handed, the hair goes in your right hand, if you're left-handed, my friends, it goes in your left hand, now we're gon na come through and I'm gon na go down just so that you can really see what it is like that I'm doing here Now notice, how I place that, in my right hand my cutting hand and notice that my elevation is low first thing, I need you to be aware of this. You have to understand the placement of your hand where you place it. It'S going to be the end. Result of the length. Secondly, it needs to be a horizontal placement of your finger angle. Your right hand, if you don't have a horizontal you're gon na, have one side that tilts one side shorter than the other. So I want you remember that now, let's go to technique watch this so take a look at my hand. It'S nice and horizontal. Look at the placement of my combs see how horizontal that is. So, what's so cool about this is the way that you're going in and doing this. Okay, now I can see you have to be aware: you're sectioning is critical. Now I can see them a little bit wider on this side, so I'm going to come back and just readjust my sectioning right to the corner of that right. There, that's better! Okay, not gon na stand in front of you and claim that I'm perfect, my friends, I will make a mistake, but I always believed it's only a mistake. If I don't learn from it, if I learn from it, it's no longer a mistake here we go watch a technique now, okay, very important, that the head is in an upright position and I'm gon na go with my right hand. First here once you're, there point to the bridge of the nose now once you're here, peace symbol. I love you guys come in. Let your hand replace right over that. It'S so important that it replaces the same angle that you have see that I'm not changing or adjusting this angle when you do that, Tracy you've adjusted the line you're cutting, so you want to come in same way. Your fingers placed in just slide out and turn so now. Can you see that's why you start with it in your right hand, now you simply come through and I want you to cut a horizontal line, so you come through. You cut a horizontal line. Now, here's what's so cool about this when you go in and do this look, how I'm keeping that elevation very, very minimal, I'm not going in and elevating at all, it's just my one finger degree of elevation and I have there when you go through when you Complete this will set your baseline in then you can go back in. You can clean up what you need to clean up, but what's so cool about this, when you release this, you get this French that does this. It goes long again. You get this roundness that just wraps right around it's so perfect. It'S easy to do so. Remember the technique and the method, the mechanics of how you do it, I think, is what might be causing the problem. Let'S take another one, for example: let's say you want to go to a side, part and you're working with a side part okay. So now let's go through and do the same thing and we're talking about the part but set up the part find out. Where are they part left side right side if they part in the middle, if they want something full and remember your blow dry sets up these fringes. I want you understand something always always cut your friend. Just dry. Do not cut them short. Now. Watch this one! Okay, I'm going to pretend she parts her hair on our left side. Okay, so now watch what I'm gon na do with my body. My body needs to come to this side of the mannequin okay, this side. So I'm just going to move right there for you. So you can see that now watch I want you to stand on the short side and you're gon na do the same thing you did but you're going to comb everything right over to you. So I want you to be aware of that now. Watch. What'S gon na happen, this is gon na, be the horsey part sit I'm going to take everything over to this side, release the hair that you don't need. Okay, now we're gon na come through. Remember when you twist, you start the twist with your cutting hand. So I'm going to place my hand horizontally where I desire to have that length once you're here. I want you to twist away from where you want the length, so I'm going to twist away so once I'm here I come through. I point my hand up now. Look how it's pointed up left hand, peace symbol. I love you come through and look at my hand, take the exact same place of that once I'm here twist and come through Tracy and cut a horizontal line. What I love about this is, we can cut horizontal lines a lot easier than we can cut diagonal lines now. Look how I've been able to cut it from short to long. So now, once I babble that that fringe is going to start to move from one side to the opposite side. So, what's so cool about this, is I didn't go in and have to take a diagonal section and cut this line in it's all about simplicity in today's world and twisting these sections when you're cutting side fringes or full fringes really enables you to get there simple, Quick and easy, I hope that helps you out and remember. The mechanics could be what's causing your problem and number two to blow dry set yourself up thanks so much for the question. I appreciate it. Tracy and I'll see you soon. You

Gille87: As a hairdresser this has saved me when doing fringes. Perfect base line everytime:)
xDiamondAsh: Thank you so much for this video! I was able to cut my own bangs and they came out exactly like I’ve been wanting!!
Magdalena Rijos: I loved it! This is such a saving time! Thank you i actually tried first on my own hair and it came out perfectly. I didn't had to go back in at all. Thank you so much for your lessons @Sam Villa
Alexis Aviles: Hi Sam, your videos are amazing and very helpful. I'm in school for cosmetology right now just finishing up and have learned a lot of different techniques for cutting bangs, but you make it very simple and easy I love this technique. Thank you!
Eirraca K: Awesome, I usually have to cut my bangs more frequently than the rest of my hair. I know these are for hairstylists but having something for bangs is a time (and money) saver. Thank you!
Rei Roll: Somewhere in the world there exist all these head mannequins with absolute fantastic hairstyles.
Bernadette Rose: Just did it and it was fast, easy and it looks amazing!!!! Love love love it! Thank you for the tutorial! :D
T V: Thank you, so much! I have straight hair and have been cutting my own bangs for years. I wear this exact style, but often botch the job, as one side of my hair is a bit more dense than the other. I gave this technique a go, as it seemed that the twist would address this issue. Though a bit hesitant to cut as short as desired, I gave it a go, and my assumption was correct. Perfect arc, perfect frame! Plus, knowing that they are even, I won't spend the next three days attempting to edit my angles (the elevation tip was very helpful).
Kim Jones: fantastic tutorial! simple, easy & those bangs turned out amazing!
P Matthews: He is adorable. Mostly because he is genuinely himself and coming from a place of service. A natural born teacher.
Lady S: Thank you so much for such a simple tutorial to follow. It's idiot proof! I now have a perfect fringe which saved me a trip to the hairdressers thanks to you!
Karen-Jeanne Wilkinson: You are such an excellent teacher!! Thank you for explaining things so clearly and throughly!!

Nicky: Thank you so much! I just cut myself long Alexa Chung bangs with this video and this is the best hairstyle I've had so far in my life! Every hairdresser I've had so far refused to cut my bangs like this. Somehow I always knew long bangs would suit me and they do! I have a strong jawline and high cheekbones and these bangs soften my jawline. Thanks!
mung bean: Thank you so much! Watched this vid and was able to give my seven year old the much wanted fringe (bangs) she'd wished for, and I've never cut hair in my life. ✂️

Erica N. Padilla: Wow. I have been wanting to cut my own fringe bangs and I have seen numerous tutorials. This is just perfect!!!!

Nelson Delgado: I just found your braid videos and then I found this, the V cut on the back and I'm amazed! It is so simple and yet so perfect! I'm learning a lot! I'm waiting my chance to start my hairdresser course, and these cut videos take away so many doubts I had!
Farah Mahmud: I am utterly amazed!! I have been searching through youtube for that one..perfect hair cut technique for quite some time now...and I have to say I finally found what I was looking for. Mr. Villa YOU ARE MY FAVORITE..Thank you so much..I learned a lot.. :)
Bernadette Rose: This guy is an amazing teacher! Love watching his tutorials!
Kaley R: I had my hair done professionally and got bangs like these! However my hair grows so quickly that I’d asked my stylist if I could trim them myself, he gave me this method but I knew I needed to see it again! I did this to myself just now lol. Start with them MUCH longer on yourself so you slowly get more comfortable and figure out what works and what doesn’t (and take off your glasses lol). All in all I didn’t transform into some sort of swamp demon so it works for me I’m happy :^)
Carolyn: I cannot thank you enough...that was fabulous!!!
Queen of Hearts: Hello Sam! Its spectacular watching your different type of techniques of hair cutting. Your such a delight and very thorough when explaining! Your fabulous!
Kathy Byrne: I know this video tutorial is 3 years old, but that technique looks so much easier than trying to cut at a side angle!! Thank you Sam!!
Saira b: I cut my bangs today with your side part twist technique...I am happy with the results :) thank you for sharing it!
Alexis Poulos: I just did it on a 7 year old & her mother! They LOVE IT!
Valentina Saviano: It is simply fantastic! Great! I tried many times to cut bangs but not yet in this way! I have absolutely to try!
615Milanova: Super helpful. I've been trimming my bangs for years and I liked the simplicity if this technique
yasir mushtaq: Your explanation, your passion and your pitch is truly great. Your simplicity in the way you talk enables me (who is not a hair dresser at all) understand and cut these styles. Well done n thanks x
Catiana souza: amei amei mesmo sem entender nada de inglês o jeito que você ensina e muito legal prático aprendi muito obrigada pelas aulas
Danica Davis: I just realized Sam Villa is the Bob Ross of hair cutting.
sadriski: YOU are a hair GOD! I love your videos!!!! I've been wearing my hair in a V cut before it was ever popular and cutting my own for a very long time....thanks for the "Twist" technique, it's been a godsend!!!! I share you with everyone <3 <3 <3
Sunflower Girl: Thank you! I used your technique, gave myself bangs and I'm so pleased!
Teresa Yeates: So I have been chopping my long hair for the past year, first cut I took off 13", the next 5 and so on. Tonight I went to my friends a floor below and showed her this video and had her try it. She did her best however was nervous and basically gave me a long bob. I was not unhappy but I am stubborn so I came home and with two mirrors did it myself and it worked. I love it. You know it is no fail when some one can do it behind their back. :) Thanks so much Sam, you are aces. Now all I need to figure out is how to lighten it without it turning brassy.
Lou Lu: I just tried the slanted bangs twist method, and it worked great for my curly hair. Thanks!
Daniel: I just cut a side bang using this video and it turned out perfectly.
Dorie Eger: I just cut my bangs for a shag with this method. Looks perfect! Thank you!
Sharon La Tour: Sam, I did this on myself and it turned out great!! Thank you. My sister likes it too, I told her about you!
Aja O.: I have used the twist fringe for the rounded bang, but never thought to use it to do a side swept fringe! You are amazing! I am using this technique from now on.
L S: That's a beautiful easy cut I must try it, NOW!
Jny MatthewB: OH MY GOD! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Of all the videos i have ever watched on youtubes... and I mean ALL! your's are the BEST!!! I agree with Lon Sherrard, YOU DESERVE AN AWARD!!!
shortstakk21: I’m not a stylist by all means BUT I love the tutorials!! Explains all the techniques clearly as well as maintaining pace of each step. So easy to watch that I subscribed. Sometime down the road, I know I’ll refer to his vids when I’m cutting hair.
Aalihte: Ive been cutting my bangs for over 20 years the most difficult ways lol. I wish I'd had your amazing videos sooner.

luellaeleganza: I did this about a year ago and it looked amazing!
AKIYIAKELLY: I am so GLad I stumbled across your videos... They are very Detailed... Thanks :-)
Donna Murphy: As a hairdresser I appreciate you and your training videos; however, they are being used by so many people who are cutting their own hair instead of going to the hair salon. I think this causes problems of professionals such as hairdressers.
Karen Gonzalez: OMFG! I almost end up without bangs at all until I got here and did it exactly as you explained it, I want to cry. THANK YOU
paulixior: I got inspired and I've just tried this technique on myself and I'm more than happy with what came out. My hair is long and pretty flat, my goal was to freshen it up a little. AND IT WORKED! Although I modified it a bit- I used a smaller section of hair, as I wished for subtle and fluffy result. This is the first time ever I did something to my hair that hasn't turned out as an embarrasement. I feel great :) Thank you for this video, I definately need to check out more of your stuff.
Erzam Marlisah: amazing! I practised this on my daughter's hair and it worked.
B Luv: heading to the vanity with a pair of scissors in hand! Crossing my fingers it turns out well!

Caitlyn Mitchell: That is amazing! I cannot wait to try this on someone!!
Natasha Hughes: Definitely the best video and most simple teaching with perfect results. Thankyou
Kiyomi Jue: Something different and interesting. I like simple techniques with good outcomes!
Concepcion Cirulli: Thank u! Thank u! it's 3 AM and i did it perfectly! ✨✨
ShesASiren: I actually saw another video with this technique (thankfully she showed how to properly part it for the best results a bit more thoroughly. I was super nervous but it worked out perfectly, just like this guy shows. Good to know now though that it should be kept low as I didn't know that before. Either way I love this trick for cutting bangs in this style so so easy.
Luna S.: Tienes magia en tus manos, gracias por compartirla con todos nosotros los amantes de la estética... Saludos y bendiciones

Naomi B Ayoubi: Thank you soooo much , you are THE BEST EVER
Kay cass: It’s weird cuz I already knew this from my mom and this is the first video I’ve seen using the exact same technique she uses. Usually people either don’t twirl the hair before cutting it or they go to cut it and they cut on top of the fingers instead of under. And then ofcourse, when their bangs come out uneven
