The reason you don't want freshly washed hair is because the dyes are formulated to respond best in the presence of natural hair oils. They not only protect the hair from the dyes (preventing frizzies and split ends), but they also give you a finished color that isn't as prone to fading.
Give your hair 24 hours before you color it. Don't rush it and don't try to fake it out with other products. It might not be this coloring where you see the damage, but it would be the next. Your hair is very porous after you color it and it's best to treat it properly now so that you don't fry it later.

I've usually just wait a day and it works out just fine. I dye my hair at home all the time and have been doing so for a year, too.

When you are shopping for hair color, read what the manufacturers directions are. Most of these manufacturers have their own websites. Check them out, they all have Q&A's sections. Don't forget their are many different types of hair colors...tints, semi-permanent and permanent. You have to choose which will better suit the desired effect you are looking for and become aware of the long term repeated colorings should you go permanent or what you would have to do in order to remove permanent color from your hair to return to it's natural color. All hair color products eventually will cause some damage to your hair, use a real good deep conditioner, should you settle for repeated colorings. Permanent black hair color is the worse to remove, it has to be removed by bleaching...bad for the hair. Choose wisely.

Ok, listen to tell u the truth it dont matter. Just make sure your hair is completely dry. Also another tip for using box color is to mix three cupfuls of shampoo , because the peroxide vol. is way to strong and thats why people dont get the right color. good luck.

You're supposed to wait 24 hours, but I've washed in the morning and done my hair at night and it turned out fine.

Wait till it dryes. The dye won't stick to wet hair.

24 hours. You are not supposed to color your hair right after you shampoo it. When you shampoo your hair, it strips away all the oils that protect your scalp when you color it.
