Narrated Ibn `Umar:

Hafsa the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Why have the people finished their Ihram after performing `Umra but you have not finished your Ihram after performing `Umra?" He replied, "I have matted my hair and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I have slaughtered (my Hadi). "

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ،‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ حَلُّوا بِعُمْرَةٍ وَلَمْ تَحْلِلْ أَنْتَ مِنْ عُمْرَتِكَ قَالَ ‏

‏ إِنِّي لَبَّدْتُ رَأْسِي، وَقَلَّدْتُ هَدْيِي فَلاَ أَحِلُّ حَتَّى أَنْحَرَ ‏

The Prophet ﷺperformed his farewell Hajj in the 10th year of Hijrah and explained its rites verbally and in action and ordered them to learn the rites directly from him. In this hadeeth, Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, reports that when the Prophet ﷺarrived at Makkah, he ﷺordered those who did not have Hady to make their Ihraam for ‘Umrah instead of Hajj, and to exit their Ihraam after completing the rites of ‘Umrah. They followed the order and on the 8th day of Thoo al-Hijjah (the Day of Tarwiyah), they assumed a new Ihraam for Hajj. As for the Prophet ﷺand those who had Hady, they maintained their Ihraam. Thereupon, Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) inquired from the Prophet ﷺabout the reason that made him not to exit his Ihraam too although he ﷺordered them to exit their Ihraam. The Prophet ﷺexplained to her that he ﷺbreaded and matted his hair, which is a practice done to keep the hair neat and not dusty, which is something that pilgrims need during Ihraam. Matting the hair takes place after taking the bath and before wearing the clothes of Ihraam. The Hady refers to the sacrificial animals that pilgrims slaughter in the Haram, which includes camels, cows, goats and sheep, and garlanding the Hady means to put a chain around their neck to serve as a mark that these animals are Hady. With that said, he ﷺclarifies that having the Hady is the reason he ﷺdid not exit Ihraam and that he can only exit it after slaughtering the Hady on the 10th of Thoo Al-Hijjah and during the days of Tashreeq (i.e., the three days after Eid al-Adha). This hadeeth shows that women used to ask the Prophet ﷺabout what they do not understand in religion..
