Similarly one may ask, how long after dying my hair can I go swimming?
It is recommended you wait 72 hours, or 3 full days before exposing your hair to pool water and chlorine. Since semi-permanent hair dye does not use the same amount of chemicals as permanent hair dye, the waiting period is slightly less.
Similarly, can I go into a pool with dyed hair? Yes, really. Just as your skin needs protection from the sun, so does your hair. “Look for hair products that contain UVA and UVB filters to protect from the chlorine and the sun,†says Schwarzkopf Professional ambassador Kim Vo.

In this regard, will chlorine ruin dyed hair?
Chlorine is a chemical that's commonly used to kill bacteria and to disinfect, which is why it's added to pool water in small amounts. If you have colored hair chlorine will bond with the artificial color and draw it out quickly.
How long should I wait after dying hair?
Truth: You should wait at least a full 72 hours before washing your hair after coloring. Why? That's how long it takes for the hair cuticles to fully close, which traps in the color. Once you start washing your hair again, use lukewarm or cool water to prevent your strands from drying out.
