"In this clip I am going to be talking about the head and massaging the head. I am going to be putting my hand in this motion. I am going to be starting to work on the side of the head, because I am putting the ear in that manner. I don't want to place my hand on top of the ear, so I will place my hand in such a way that it's over the ear and I can turn and I can support the head in this manner. I am going to start by saying a 'hello,' and give it a nice glide. I can even start with the neck starting with a nice gliding stroke all the way up. I can even go as far as doing the shoulder and coming all the way up to head and it otherwise feels so nice and going all the way down to hair. I don't want to over extend my wrists and giving it a nice long..... saying 'hello' to the head and the hair and everybody likes this and everybody likes having their hair just toss like this. So, I am saying 'hello' and I am going to go with 5 fingers very lightly. I will not be putting any pressure down and I am just going in a rotating motion."
