Ruling on Praying with a Hair Mask

Question
If a woman applies a hair mask and does not wash her hair, does this affect the validity of her prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The ablution is not valid unless the water reaches the hair, and the prayer becomes invalid at that point, and God knows best.
