255. Shuraiḥ bin ‘Ubaid said: “Jubair bin Nufair gave me a verdict concerning the Ghusl of Janābah. He told me that Thawbān informed them, that they asked the Prophet ﷺ for the verdict about that, and he said: ‘As for the man, then he should spread out his hair and wash it until it reaches the roots of the hair. And as for the woman, then there is no sin upon her if she does not undo it, but let her pour over her head three handfuls (of water) with both her hands.’” (Ḥasan)
255 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ: ابْنُ عَوْفٍ، وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: أَفْتَانِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الجَنَابَة، أَنَّ ثَوْبَانَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَفْتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: «أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَلْيَنْشُرْ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَغْسِلْهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أُصُولَ الشَّعْرِ، وَأَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَلَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا تَنْقُضَهُ لِتَغْرِفْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِكَفَّيْهَا»

It should be noted that when performing Ghusl after menstruation, a woman should undo any braids or plaits in her hair.
