Advanced cutting techniques: Step 4 - Twist cutting

Image: 

Twist cutting creates volume by removing weight from the hair. It also gives a lot of movement and is most effective when used on curly or wavy hair. Take a one inch section and twist the hair from the roots to the ends so that it stands straight up from the scalp. Hold the length of hair between your fingers and, with the blades open, move your scissors up the hair from the roots through to the ends. (Be careful not to close the blades or you will cut the section of hair off).
