Geometric bands and a star-shaped detail

A close view from behind puts the haircut’s geometry in focus. Dense, dark curls sit above closely faded sides, while a broad band of pale, closely clipped hair creates a canvas for a repeating angular pattern. The zigzag motif wraps around the head, giving the design a clear rhythm rather than reading as a single isolated mark. Near the back, a large outlined star interrupts the band and becomes its focal point. Its placement connects the patterned strip to the natural curve of the head. The contrast between textured curls and smooth, patterned sides makes the composition especially legible. Fine shading along the edges softens the transition from the design into the fade, while the dark outlines keep the shapes distinct. The brick wall behind the subject adds a warm, block-like texture, but remains secondary to the precise hairwork. Because the view is angled away from the face, attention stays on how the star and repeated lines travel across the side and back. It is a graphic arrangement built from contrast, repetition, and one unmistakable central emblem.
