Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
A menstruating woman can practise anything, which she was used to practise in her purity, i.e., while she is not in her monthly period. She can wash her hair, face, and can remove her nails, etc. There is no difference in permissible acts between a menstruating woman and the one who is not so except in the known matters, such as to hinder her from praying, fasting, etc. Allah knows best.
