251. It was narrated that Jubair bin Muṭ'im said: "They argued about Ghusl in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. One of the people said: 'I perform Ghusl in such-and-such a manner.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'As for me, I pour three handfuls of water over my head.'" (Sahih)
250 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ قَالَ: تَمَارَوْا فِي الْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: إِنِّي لَأَغْسِلُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلَاثَ أَكُفٍّ»

If the ablution is performed in the beginning according to the practice of the Prophet ﷺ and water is made to reach the roots of hair by running wet fingers through them, then it would suffice to pour three handfuls of water on the head. No part of one's hair would remain dry. Thus, this would save water too.
