Hair Coloring and Swimming?

How long do you have to wait after you colored your hair to go swimming?

First, I wouldnt recommend getting your hair colored if you are on a swim team. If its just to get done, I would go at least 2-3 days (maybe a week even). My sister was on her college swim team (as well as a life guard) and got her hair colored blonde. Not only did it turn green (it was funny looking) but it also became dead and started to fall out. She ended up getting her hair cut really short (like to her ears where it looked cute, thankfully) and let her naturally color come in. This may change for each person... but I would suggest in asking a hair dresser for further information. Good luck.

the same as for how long you wait to wash it

It depends on what you used to colour your hair to be honest.....certain dyes have different chemicals in them that react with chlorine but after a few days you should be fine either way...colours with ash in them tend to be more prone to turning greenish...But if anything the chlorine will just fade the colour faster. Good luck

Wait for a day to let the color set, and then you can go. If you have any blond streaks or highlights, be careful not to get your hair wet in a pool with chlorine purifiers, as it can give bleached hair a greenish tinge. Best wishes

The chlorine in a swimming pool will dry our your hair, and if its been coloured its already stressed. Plus the chlorine could react with the hair colour and cause a colour change.

So ask your hairdresser, but I think a couple of weeks is safe.

Chlorines fade out reds quickly and can make highlights turn funky. It has never happened to me with the highlights but it has faded out my reds. My hairdresser gives me a color protector to delay fading.
