Q: How long do I need to wait before I can wash my hair after having highlights or colour?

A: It is ok to wash your hair at anytime after your colour service, provided that you use a colour safe shampoo, like Redken Color Extend, which has an anti-fade complex. Also, to prolong the life of your colour, I recommend having a Redken Chemistry Treatment after your colour service. This exclusive in-salon treatment seals the cuticle and locks in specialized ingredients, for up to 4 weeks of extreme shine and condition.
