Do these sentences use the present continuous past continuous or neither tense I might be washing my hair later but you will come around wont you?

The sentences, "I might be washing my hair later" and "You will come around, won't you" do not use either of the tenses mentioned in the question. "Might be washing" could be called a "conditional future progressive*" tense, while "will come" and "won't" are both in simple future tense. *"Progressive", which I learned fifty years ago, may mean the same thing as "continuous" when used as part of a name of a tense.

What do you mean by present continuous tense?

The same as "present progressive". The tense is formed by combining the appropriate present tense form of "be" to agree with subject with the present participle of the other verb, and it indicates action or state of being continuing from at least the recent past through the present and into at least the immediate future. Example: "He is running fast", when one sees a runner in a race.

This is probably the least common way of talking about the future:I'll be talking to her next week.
