The answer

"Highlighting" (Maysh) refers to two types: dyeing hair, which is permissible as long as it is not black or harmful. The second type is hair extensions, which are forbidden. In both cases, highlighting does not invalidate the prayer unless it prevents water from reaching the original hair during ablution (Wudu') or the skin during the ritual bath (Ghusl).
