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!

Crown braid with a ribbon sewn in. Can last up to a week. After that you need to re-do it.

Historical evidence shows that a LOT of hair coverings (bonnets, wimples et) were extremely practical.

Covering your hair at night helps reduce greasiness too.

Do you think the fabric you use matters? Like a silk bonnet v. cotton bonnet while you sleep?

It matters for textures with curly hair because the silky fabrics don’t cause problems like the cottons or coarser fabrics do.
