How to ask your stylist for this hairstyle 

Tips

Ask your stylist to install your desired braids (e.g. "burgundy box braids"). You would then add the pom poms yourself, or ask the stylist to add them for you, which you will likely need to provide.

Question & Answer

Can you wash your hair with pom poms in?

Yes, but it should be done very gently. Focus on washing your scalp, and let the soapy water run through the braids and pom poms. Squeeze them out gently, do not wring them. They will take a long time to air dry.
