حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى أَبَا رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَائِمًا وَقَدْ غَرَزَ ضَفْرَهُ فِي قَفَاهُ ، فَحَلَّهَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ، فَالْتَفَتَ حَسَنٌ إِلَيْهِ مُغْضَبًا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ : " أَقْبِلْ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تَغْضَبْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : ذَلِكَ كِفْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ " ، يَعْنِي : مَقْعَدَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَعْنِي : مَغْرَزَ ضَفْرِهِ .
Narrated Abu Rafi: Saeed ibn Abu Saeed al-Maqburi reported on the authority of his father that he saw Abu Rafi the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ, passing by Hasan ibn Ali (Allah be pleased with them) when he was standing offering his prayer. He had tied the back knot of his hair. Abu Rafi untied it. Hasan turned to him with anger, Abu Rafi said to him: Concentrate on your prayer and do not be angry: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This is the seat of the devil, referring to the back knot of the hair.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
1:
But this is for men;
there is no harm for women in performing prayer with their hair tied in a braid.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam even exempted women from undoing their braids during the ritual bath (ghusl) for major impurity.
If a woman were to untie her braid during prayer, her hair might come out from under her head covering, and if a woman's hair comes out from under her head covering during prayer, the prayer becomes invalid.
Moreover, untying the braid at every prayer time and tying it again after prayer would also be troublesome.
