During Ghusl, is it necessary to pour water over the head three times? If I feel that the water hasn't reached my scalp properly, can I wash it more than three times, or would that invalidate the Ghusl, requiring me to start over?

It is not necessary to pour water during Ghusl three times. The obligatory act is to make the water reach to your head, face and whole body one time. Repeating that does not harm the Ghusl.
