you have to let go of the loop when it’s going under your hand, and re-pinch with your thumb when it’s going over top again

Basically what he said ^^. It doesn’t have to be at the top, but you need to let go of the loop and then pinch it again with your thumb so your now pinching from the other side of the string. This will prevent the yoyo string from getting twisted.
