Then he would pour as much water as two hands can hold on to his head three times, and over the entire surface of his skin.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ghusl to cleanse himself from major impurity. He washed his hands three times, then performed wudu for prayer.

Then, he poured water onto his head, allowing it to flow over the rest of his body.

[Machine] The Prophet Mohammed ﷺ used to start by washing his hands, then perform ablution for prayer. After that, he would dip his hands into water and run his fingers through his hair roots. When he felt that his skin was well-moistened, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Then he would wash the rest of his body. This hadith is narrated by Hisham bin Urwah in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
