I just got my hair dyed today with Redken Shades EQ semi-permanent dye... how soon should I wait before I wash it? The chemical smell is really getting to me but i don't want this great color to fade, does it make a difference?

It doesnt really make a difference since its dyed already. Probably maybe a day later after you dye it, is best.

ok thanks. I had heard somewhere that you should wait as long as you can before washing it to let the color completely penetrate the hair so thats why I was asking.

Be sure and use a shampoo for colored hair, this will keep from srtipping so much color, especially if your hair is brunette or red. Also, Matrix and Artec make some great color depositing shampoo/conditioner products that will help keep up your color if you find it's washing out too much.

Also, I use brands with more natural ingredients rather than salon formulas so that it has less of a smell. I don't remember any names right now, but it really helps!
