It doesnt. Its just shadow as an homage/tracing of the original comic, where rorschach has a black "smudge" on his head from taking off his black faced mask.
The hair appears to change again in the third cell. There's no consistent image to suggest that we're now looking at a different character. This parody is a mess. I'm moving on.
Can't say I agree about the hair or the mess. These are two different characters interacting with each other.
It looks like Kirks holding his hands over his hair in the 1st frame, but you can see the same "crown" baldness he shows in the 2nd, which is consistent with the character from the show.
The 3rd cell is an entirely different character, a hybrid of Kirks boss from the cracker factory that fired him and Dr. Manhattan from Watchemen, who killed rorschach. The comic is blending these two scenes together.
