Close-cropped finger waves with deep side part
A fictional Black adult wearing glossy close-cropped finger waves with a deep side part and continuous sculpted ridges visible from the forehead through the temple and side of the head. The finished set shows compact, connected S-shaped ridges molded close to the scalp; the image does not establish the fictional model’s natural hair subtype. Very short to short hair kept close enough to the scalp for the ridge pattern to remain continuous and clearly legible.
