Twist Cutting to Create Layers in the Crown

[@spirals73]

Thanks for showing us this. People were so rude in the comments but some of us appreciate this.

[@Elisabell_DJ.X.RAYTED]

I saw this on FB and decided I'd try it since it's just hair it'll grow bk lol... And it turned out awesome! Ppl thought I had it done professionally!! Lol nice 1

[@samvillahair]

I love it! 💜

[@jai_b]

Thank u soooo much!! I've always had bad crown damage hair from colouring and heat + way I sleep, so much so my hair texture changed, it hardly grew. I did this and it worked, and my crown hair has grown since. Again Thank u so much. Xxx

[@Zxc18]

finally found what ive been looking for since ages. will give it a try by myself because hairdressers dont even know the name of this cutting let alone cutting this haircut

[@Muskaan7100]

So true! Always walk out disappointed from salons

[@Litlrox]

This is the cut that I recall in my teens. I don’t see the diamond in the crown technique anymore. I have been looking for someone to do this. Will recommend next time when I get my hair cut in layers again.

[@fragrancememoir2350]

Exactly

[@silverforever6254]

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.

[@michellemaria71]

It's a great idea and over directs an inversion even more. I will try that 😀 All your tips are amazing xx

[@makeuplov505]

I love this technique, the hair falls beautifully!!! (my own word) I was wondering how you would finish the hair cut with layers around the front of the hair? I know you said you have another tutorials which shows the hair cut but I would really like to see you finish this one. THank you!

[@lynngaskell5569]

I would like to see the same… how to finish that haircut incorporating the layers for the rest of the haircut please

[@EuMesmaDaniele]

[@BeautybyKookai]

[@cosibellaunlimited6119]

[@terp4u2]

Would this help with blending a crown cowlick? Fine hair?

[@valeriemartinez9074]

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

[@emmaphee]

im having my haircut in 2 weeks. i have curly hair. what would you recommend?

[@linhtrinh2951]

Very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@merlindagarciabeard8689]

Hello I enjoyed watching this technique my ? is how can I achieve this on my own hair

[@annabanana377]

does this technique add elevation and lift to the top of head as well?

[@steffers841]

this is awesome! thank you for the video!

[@keithhoward4059]

Thank You again Andrew

[@midwestmommabear7869]

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

[@TheStarsComply]

Is there a tool for holding the hair? I'd like to try this on my own hair.

[@paoladeleon5814]

Great Thanks👏💖💝💞😝

[@mahaahmed2029]

thank you for saying " loose your hand to let the hair twist" because I've tried it before when I saw sam's video but he did not highlight this point so the result was not good but I figured it out by myself later

[@Zxc18]

yes i also watched both of these videos n his mehod is clearer than Sam's.

[@marydobbin8812]

Do you have a video for twist cut for short hair???

[@licensedandinsureda5698]

[@sharitarichardson3137]

Very informative.

[@marilyn3605]

Awesome!!!!

[@sherrycothron9061]

I have long straight hair I want volum but keep my length thinking about a shag but I don't want it short what do you suggest?

[@cookingbyfarhafatima5134]

waao sir.. plz share us angles details use section in hair cut

[@mmi1Mii]

could you do this on longer hair almost down to waist length for more volume?!

[@samvillahair]

Of course!

[@rimi279]

Is this technique good for curly hair?

[@JorgelinaVega]

+Rimi Z I was going to ask the same thing

[@josefranco3279]

+Rimi Z i don't think so

[@the.imprint]

Rimi Z yes

[@spirals73]

I know you asked almost a decade ago but yes. I have loose curls and tight waves and it works well.

[@cathm8529]

How about the side area?

[@kalimatayyeba7746]

It is an over direction movement but using the way of twisting the layer

[@sharonlatour6230]

Should, or can this be done on fine, thin shoulder length hair?

[@jagerhamada392]

the amount of hair you take real depends on the density and texture of the hair. If you have fine thin hair you would make a small diamond but if you have course thick hair it would be a bigger diamond.

[@sharonlatour6230]

Thank you William!

[@the.imprint]

Sharon La Tour if you're emo

[@alexhosain284]

I used this on v shape hair, but how to make the texture be more strong and visible?

[@manjusundas7238]

thanx

[@saramalik752]

Nice easy

[@MariaH-iy8xz]

Can I do this in a bob haircut?

[@samvillahair]

Absolutely... just be a little careful on how short you go at first.

[@MariaH-iy8xz]

Sam Villa Hair Tutorials thank you so much for replying 🙏😊

[@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....

[@JoseRivera-te9hw]

perth45 They did a more in-depth video where Sam makes a zig-zag section, tilts it so it works with his model's side part, then point cut it and uses texture shears so you don't see any layering. Keep in mind thought that some clients like to be able to see their layers, and if you blend them to much, they're not going to be happy with you.

[@the.imprint]

perth45 I still like it. I like the emo look. All babers suck bcz they just don't get it.

[@clarabow2479]

Don't you just hate you tubers who totally ignore their subscribers questions? Obviously the passion is only there for the amount of views/subs they get and not for what they're doing.

[@samvillahair]

Hi Clara, honestly we do truly care about offering education to the world... we hope that comes through in the content of the videos. We would love to reply to every single comment and question but we sometimes just don't have the man power to keep up. Our social media person also fields questions on our Instagram and Facebook pages so the KZbin comments often don't get the attention we wish they could. We are blessed that our KZbin page has such a great following and we hope that it's not too discouraging that we don't get to interact as much as we would like. We can definitely understand your comment and we take it to heart.

[@livvyjos]

Really? They have great content and explain everything really well. I’m unsure why anyone would feel the need to complain. Ask a question and maybe someone else might be able to help you. People ask a lot of questions and you could spend the rest of your life trying to answer every one. How about saying “Thank you”?! I’ve only just found this channel and every video I’ve seen is superb. No complaints here, yes I have a question or two but I’m not phased if they never get answered. The knowledge I’ve gained far outweighs the stuff I’m not 100% sure on!! THANKS SO MUCH!! You guys rock!! 💗✂️🙌😇

[@mavtallia]

How do I get do this for most of the cut?

[@lindat.7520]

They responded to you very nicely and you didn't even thank them. Rude

[@clarabow2479]

Linda T. - no I didn’t say thank you because if you care to scroll through ALL the comments you will see very many questions with almost none of them answered. When people support a channel but are completely ignored, that’s what I consider rude. It seems I was only answered because I dared criticise him. To me that’s not only rude but arrogant also. So to say I’m rude without looking at the bigger picture makes you really stupid and ignorant 🤣
