Crown and side parting
Mark the crown and bring the parting down off to one side instead of down the middle. An off-centre parting sends more hair to one side than the other, and that imbalance is what gives a layered cut its movement.

The other steps, the voice that walks you through them, and the feedback on your drawing are inside the app. Creating the account is free and asks for no card.
An AI compares your drawing with the plate and tells you what to fix. It is not a person looking at your sketchbook.
