Head Removal

Are there any how-to's or anything out there that will kinda teach me how to take the head off of a 97 Civic? I'm planning on shaving my head, but instead of having somebody else take my head off, I want to do it myself. I want to do it myself to save money and learn more about my car. Only problem is, I don't know a whole lot about engines. All I need to do is get the head off and then a friend is gonna shave it for me. So I need to learn how to take it off so I can get it all done.
