The image shows an illustration of the top half of two individuals. One person is seated and facing sideways, while another person is styling their hair. The seated person's back and shoulders are visible, with long hair being styled by the other individual. The second person is facing the viewer and holding the first person's hair. Facial details are minimal, with just a hint of a mouth visible. The hair is depicted as long and flowing. The first person's shoulders appear bare, and both individuals are shown in vague, flowy clothing. The background is plain, highlighting the interaction between the two individuals.
