105. Umm Salamah narrated "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I am a woman with tight braids on my head, should I undo it to perform Ghusl for Janābah?', He said: 'No. It is sufficient that you only pour three scoops of water (with hands held together) over your head, then pour water over the rest of your body, to be purified.'" Or he said: "then you will be purified." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
The people of knowledge act according to this Hadīth. If a woman performs Ghusl for Janābah but does not undo her hair, then that is acceptable after she pours water over her head.

Commentary
It is not compulsory for a woman to undo the braids for taking a bath due to ceremonial impurity and after menses, but making the roots of hair wet is compulsory, according to the majority of the scholars.
