Hi friends, Andrew Carruthers, here education, director for Sambia, we use a technique, a lot in our haircutting called twist cutting and the reason we use it is, as we take a section and we twist it around outside of its natural position. We increase over direction and elevation on the outsides of those sections. You'Ll see this in use in a lot of our haircuts one. In particular, we call the scarlet haircut, which you guys can watch the full length haircut on our on-demand channel. So I want to show you a technique that I do a lot of times in the salon, how I use the twist cutting technique to add layers and texture through the crown area, which a lot of times is where we want the focus to be so. Let'S spin this young lady around here, I'm going to use the ivory long cut income section out here and I'm going to come from the high point of the head to just corner back here. Just behind the ear, then I'm going to go to about the mid occipital center back, so this is going to be a little triangle area, step to the other side here and we're going to mimic that triangle on the other side, if you think about two triangles Coming together, what do they create? They create a little diamond, don't thing so what we should end up with is a diamond shape that encompasses the whole crown area. If you watch our videos, a lot you've seen us do this before, because this is a really flattering shape for the crown area, and this diamond actually allows for the shape to naturally fall towards the back of the head. We'Re going to elevate diagonally right off of the crown. So if you take your comb and put it flat on the crown, that's where you want to elevate out from and everything is over directed into the center of the section. Once we have established our over direction to the center and our elevation off the crown, we're going to hold the hair firmly in our fingers and we're going to take a little walk around the head and to the other side. As I do that, I need to allow the hair to slip through my fingers a bit if I hold onto it too tightly, I'm not going to get the effect. So what you can see is now it's being stretched even farther out of its natural position, which is increasing that over direction and elevation. So once we have that twist established now, we just need to remove the length. So I'm going to pick up the Sambia Signature Series, seven-inch dry, cutting shear and the reason for that is. Apparently the hair is dry. It'S a large section and these shears are specifically built to handle large amounts of dense dry hair. We'Re going to cut on that diagonal finger angle that we have established from the elevation we're just going to remove all that hair. Now, it's a very blunt line, but because of all the elevation / direction and twisting action when that Falls, it's actually going to fall. Quite soft and quite loose and give us a nice texture through the crown area and produce really cool layers for us. When I take a section back through there just down through the center, what you'll notice is that, once we twisted that section, we established again a shorter area in the center, and you can see these outside edges. How much longer they are, and that again is because of that twisting movement and the stretching motion from one point to the other. So it's not just in the crown that we use this and again in that scarlet video you'll see a different format for utilizing this. In your layering patterns, we do it a lot in 1 lengths, we do it in fringes and you can find a lot of that stuff on our youtube channel or through our website, San Viacom. We welcome any questions or comments. We hope you enjoyed the technique. I'M Andrew Carruthers education, director for Samuel, you

Silver Forever: I've been cutting my hair for decades using the "twist" method for my fine hair to give it volume. I section of the crown first from the back and sides clipping them. Beginning at the back of the crown I begin lifting section by section combing the hair straight up then twisting Midway up to the ends and snip off 1/2"-1" then follow suit for the sides and rare portion of my hair ...I usually do 4" on crown leaving bangs just above brows...sides are approx 3-3&1/2" angling bottom section. Rare crown a smidge longer than crown then U do three rows across. Appox. 3" until I'm mid way down and in the mid- center I cut a little shorter which give illusion of height and volume. The nape gets cut after slicking back dampened hair and flattening it against the neck...I then cut in a rounded fashion catching any straggle end from top layers. If you can see my photo you can see the finished cut after I've used volumizing and root lifting products.. rounded brush blow out and 1" curling iron All of which takes about 15 mins. to cut and another 15 to shampoo and style. This saves me a great deal of money as did allowing my silver/charcoal hair to grow out saving me approx. $2,000 yearly in costly touch-ups and fresh processing. I no longer need conditioners b/c thru weigh down my hair. I use a volumizing shampoo and styling products that add texture, thickness, volume and sheen. The "twist" cut techniques was the answer to my fine, flat hair. Also, I use paper towels to absorb water after shampooing up instead of towels that usually have been laundered using fabric softners that my hair used to absorb. My fine hair needs a certain amount of "roughness" to achieve the style I like...so thank you for confirming the , "twist" cut as a fantastic useful tool and remedy for adding texture to fine hair.

Michelle Maria: It's a great idea and over directs an inversion even more. I will try that All your tips are amazing xx
MidwestMom MaBear: Would the crown cut, when dropped into place, be highly uneven on one side because you only did the swivel twist in one direction or should you then, turn and swivel the opposite direction for a more diamond effect once dropped into place? Perhaps they cancel the other out. I'm not sure with this particular cut

perth45: I don't agree that when the hair fell that the effect was 'soft'.....the diamond should really have been 'deep point cut' for the best effect.....I teach this technique to Level 3 students but using a pony tail.....I encourage them to 'rip into' the pony tail so that the stretched lengths combined with the technique gives a real, choppy layered look with barely any signs of disconnection.....this diamond technique and club cutting doesn't achieve it, sorry....
Paola De León: Great Thanks
Valerie Martinez: Um can I just do the diamond shape put it in a pony tail and cut it myself I've always cut my own hair using the ponytail method
