97"primary_subject": "Caucasian male in his 30s wearing a heavy dark navy wool overcoat over a dark crewneck sweater, accessorized with tortoiseshell sunglasses. Hair analysis: Length is approximately 3-4 inches on top, tapering to 1-1.5 inches on the sides, styled in a classic executive contour/side-part. The part is located deep on the left side, about 1.5 inches from the temple, with a slight pompadour lift on the top front. The back and sides are closely cropped with a low fade, leaving approximately 0.5 inches at the crown and tapering to skin level at the nape and sideburns. The texture appears to be naturally straight with light product for a matte finish and natural movement. The color is a medium brown with subtle natural highlights, likely from sun exposure. The hair density is full, with strong concentration on the top and slight thinning at the temples, consistent with mature male pattern.",
