Twist Cutting to Create Layers in the Crown

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.

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

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