What is the method for a woman with long hair to wipe her head?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Here is a question that says: I heard that some scholars said: If a woman with long hair wants to wipe her head during wudu, she starts from the front to the back until she reaches the neck, then returns to the front again, and it is not obligatory for her to wipe the hair to its end, which reaches the middle of the back; so what is the description of a woman wiping her head when she has long hair, which is usually tied or hanging down? May Allah reward you with good.
The answer: It is what was mentioned in the question, citing some scholars. The woman must start wiping her head from the front of the head to the back; that is, to where the hairline of the head ends; whether for a man or a woman, then she returns with her palms to the front of the head. This is what is obligatory for her, and no more than that.
