Ubaidullah bin Maqsim says: Hasan bin Muhammad asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (ra) about the ritual bath (ghusl) after major impurity. He said: Wet your hair and wash your skin. He asked: How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ghusl? He said: He would pour water on his head three times and then let water flow over his skin. He said: My head has a lot of hair. He replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had more hair on his head than you do, and it was purer.
