Spring training camps have started for most NFL special teams and the NY Giants are no different. Part of getting ready for such a camp is to clear your mind of the past year's mistakes on and off the field. A player needs to start out with a clean slate. Smooth out the rough edges. That's just what Jason Sehorn said he wanted to do with his shaggy 70's brown hair.
Jason sat down in the chair and I eased back the chair and turned on the water. Slowly, I ran the water through his long, thick, shaggy, brown hair. I ran my fingers through his hair, up the back of his head and slowly massaged his head while wetting his hair.
Slowly, I poured shampoo in my and rubbed them together and ran my fingers through his hair and massaged the shampoo all over his head. Rubbing up the back of his head and the crown of his head and then the sides and even rubbing his long, wide and thick sideburns. I watched him relax more and more as I massaged away.
I rinsed out the shampoo just as slowly, by running my fingers up the back of his head and across the top of his head and massaging his head slowly and firmly until all of the shampoo was rinsed out. Then I slowly set him up right and put a towel over his head. I rubbed the towel all over his head slowly getting as much moisture as possible.
Then I took off the towel and took out my Conair blow dryer and set it on warm and went around his head lifting sections of his thcik bushy hair up with my fingers and blowling it dry. Over and over again. Taking a section of his thick hair and holding it in my hand and blowing it dry. Click off the blow dryer.
Out came my trusty Oster clippers. No attachment. Tilt his head forward. Click on the clippers and let them run for a bit and then run them straight up the middle of his head. 6" or 7" of thick shaggy 70" mop fell on to the cape. Buzz back again and again. Brown hair cascading into a pile on the cape. Buzz long and slow front to crown. Shaggy mop gone. Brown stubble left. Buzz back again. Just stubble left on top.
To his right. Buzz straight up the side of his face. Shave of that long, wide, thick sideburn. Keep shaving up the side of the head to his temple. Buzz up the side of his head. Shaggy mop falls to the cape and floor. Buzz up 70's hair cropped off. Around his ear. Buzz up behind his ear. To the back.
Buzz slowly straight up the back of his head. 8" to 9" of thick brown 70's shag falls to the cape and floor. Rub my fingers up the back of his head. Mmmm. Prickly stubble. Buzz up. Rub up. Over and over reducing that mop to stubble. Buzz up slowly and watch all that thick, long hair fall to the floor. Rub my fingers up. Stubble for now. That will change. Buzz up behind his left ear. To his left side.
Buzz around his ear towards his left temple. Look at all that thick brown mop tumble onto that mound of mop on the cape. Buzz up the side of his head. Buzz up again and again chopping off all that shaggy 70's mop and leaving brown stubble. Shave up the left side of his face remove that long wide and thick sideburn. Buzz again slowly all over his head and rubbing my fingers all over his very buzzed head. Click off clippers.
Out comes shaving cream. Lather up his very stubbly head slowly massaging the shaving cream all over his bristly head. Wipe hands off. Straight razor time. Slowly glide the razor across the top of his head removing that prickly brown stubble and leaving a very smooth head. Rub fingers back. Mmm. Slowly and carefully glide razor back across the top of his head over and over again.
Then slowly up the left side of his head. Glide the razor slowly. Rub the fingers up slowly. Glide. Rub. Glide. Rub. So very nice. Up the back of his head from nape to crown. Slowly glide the razor up and get rid of all that bristly stubble and leave that wonderful silky smooth head. Glide. Rub. Glide. Rub. Up the back of his head and to his right. Glide up the right side of his head. Rub up. Mmm mmm good. Glide up and rub up. Then glide the razor all over his head again. Put razor down.
Place warm towel over his head and lather up his very handsom face. Tilt him back in the chair and get new razor. Slowly glide the razor across the left side of his face removing what was left of that sideburn. Then clean up his chin and neck slowly and carefully being sure to rub my fingers over that good looking face. Then glide over to the right side of his face and remove what was left of that sideburn and then do general clean up. Put razor down. Take towel off his head and put aside and get new towl and place on his face. Take towel off face and get out Wintergreen tonic and slowly and firmly massage it all over his head and face. Feel all that silky smoothness all over his bald head and face. See all that hair piled all around on the floor?
Take off cape. Jason stands up and rubs his hands all over his head and face and turns his head side to side looking in the mirror. He looked at me with those intense blue eyes and asked if I made house calls. Ding, dong - - anybody home?
