A finger, with its tip coated in a vibrant red, gel-like substance, is gently dabbed onto the skin of the forehead. This action indicates the application of the edge control product. The background is dark gray and out of focus, maintaining emphasis on the action. Direct lighting illuminates the forehead and the red product, making the texture of the gel clearly visible.

The scene maintains a medium close-up, offering a detailed view of the person's forehead, eyebrows, and eyes as they meticulously style their baby hairs. The setting remains consistent with a plain, dark gray background and direct, focused lighting that highlights the glossy texture of the hair. The person uses a neon green edge brush and comb tool with expert precision. They alternate between the stiff brush side, which is used to smooth and create intricate wave patterns along the hairline, and the fine-tooth comb side, which helps to define and separate individual strands. The pointed end of the tool is occasionally employed to precisely part and sculpt the smaller hairs. The styling process progresses from the temple towards the center of the forehead, showcasing the gradual transformation of the baby hairs into an artful, sleek design. Fingers are often used to gently press down the styled sections, ensuring they lay flat and hold their shape. The vibrant magenta-red hair, warm brown skin, and neon green tool create a striking visual against the dark backdrop.

The intricate wave patterns created earlier are now clearly visible and appear smooth and uniform. The color palette focuses on the vibrant magenta-red hair, the warm brown skin, and the subtle sheen on the styled edges, completing the look with a polished and artistic flair.
