251. Umm Salamah narrated: "A woman among the Muslims" — Zuhair (one of the narrators) said that it was her (Umm Salamah) — who said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I am a woman who keeps her hair tied up in braids. Must I undo it when (I am in a state of) sexual impurity (before performing Ghusl)?' He replied: 'It is sufficient that you pour water over it (i.e., your hair) three times with your hands, then pour (water) over your entire body, and you would be pure (after that).'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Men and women shall perform ritual bath the same way. There is no difference. The part of the body below the waist shall be washed first; filth, if any, shall be removed; ablution, as for prayer, shall be performed; and, last of all, water shall be poured over the entire body.
