Release a vertical parting at the center crown. Project at 90° and sculpt to create slightly shorter lengths at the top. Work toward the left converging vertical partings to the center parting project at 90°. Repeat on the right side.
Take a vertical parting at the back of the section. Project at 90° at the top of the parting. Slide cut from midstrand to the ends. Work to the front sculpting each parting individually. Repeat on the other side.
