will have ... will have been ... (passive voice)

[werkwoorden]
Regular verbs, irregular verbs, auxiliary verbs, compound verbs... When do we use which tense? What about those strange constructions the Dutch use to make a continuous? "Staat" my book on the shelf or "ligt" it? Ask all about Dutch verbs here.

1) My hair will be washed. (The dishes will be washed. )
2) My hair will have been washed ... (The dishes will have been washed by the time you come home.)
Mijn haar zal gewassen worden.
Mijn haar zal gewassen zijn.

The passive auxiliary is "worden". Its perfect is "geworden zijn". But if there is another participle such as "gewassen", you forget about the "geworden"part:

Mijn haar zal gewassen geworden zijn --> Mijn haar zal gewassen zijn.
