"I will be creating a short style for men. I'll prepare the water that it's nice and warm, I don't want to shock his scalp. Completely washing through, and I'll be using a shampoo that is called Detoxifier. Not that his hair is toxic or anything, but I do need to remove all of the buildup on his head. This is a technique that I like to use for men overall, to just remove any kind of product, sweat, dirt and anything that goes into the hair.
