Shattered Inversion
Create a profile parting then a radial from the crown to the ear. Create a diagonal back parting from the radial to the profile and a horizontal parting from the radial through to the recession on both sides, creating a keyhole section.
In the back, create a vertical section, comb it perpendicular and razor-cut square.
Continue working to each side in vertical sections, overdirecting to a stationary guide at the corner nape.
Repeat on the opposite side.

In front of the radial, comb the length to natural fall and razor-cut out to the existing length. Repeat on the opposite side.
Release the back. Create a central vertical section, comb perpendicular and razor-cut square.
Continue working with vertical sections, overdirecting to the center guide. Repeat on the opposite side, creating an inversion.
Create a profile section, and using the guide from the crown, comb perpendicular and slice square.
