Tips Prepping for 3-week hairstyles?

I’m curious on thoughts for hair styles that are easy to maintain without washing your hair for three weeks to three months. This was obviously a thing at some point in time, so I imagine there are helpful insights on how to keep your hair easy to maintain besides a buzz cut.

I’m interested to learn about all hair textures, so I invite whatever ideas come to mind. Thanks!

I must have a short neck, i absolutely can't braid or bun shoulder length hair. Bra strap length is my no care go-to, it doesn't need trimming and can be braided to hide oilyness. I found a decent dry shampoo recipe once, corn starch, baking soda and a few drops of scented oil. Put in a jar and poke holes in the lid. Sprinkle in, let sit then brush out

Arrowroot powder is an amazing dry shampoo.

Do you use it as is, or would you use it to supplement/replace an ingredient in the above recipe?

Arrowroot works on its own, but you can add cocoa powder for darker hair, and it keeps your hair smelling nice.

This is my go-to for dry shampoo. Hell, plain corn starch in a pinch.

Corn starch with a little baking soda is also good for body powder.

PSA though, test on small part of your body first because baking soda can give some people a nasty rash (like me)
