ANSWER:

No, this is not permissible and the ghusl is invalid!

The water must touch your entire scalp and from head to the tips of ALL YOUR HAIR (Completely drenched)

QUESTION: If I need to perform ghusl after intimacy with my husband, is it acceptable to tie my hair in a braid before bathing and then pour three handfuls of water over my head, even if my entire scalp and hair do not become fully wet, and then tie my hair into a bun and than wash the rest of the body?
