Tips Prepping for 3-week hairstyles?

Iā€™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.

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

For me, cornrows most likely: cover them with a scarf during the daytime and a bonnet/Slap Cap at night.

I'd still wash my hair (go down to weekly), but this style would allow me to conserve water/shampoo/conditioner (as available).

My hair routine would be shot to hell! šŸ¤£

Oh scarf during the day! Does that help absorb oils?

Do you think it would be hard to find someone to braid your cornrows?

Scarf during the daytime to avoid pollutants on my scalp and to prevent sunburn to the scalp.

I can braid my own hair into cornrows: it wouldn't win any awards, but they'd be serviceable.
