How long should I wait to shower after coloring with Elumen?

I got my hair dyed turquoise with Elumen at a salon earlier today and they put product in it, which I really want to wash out before I go to bed. If I shower tonight before bed, will it wash out/fade the color?

Also, bonus question; my hairstylist told me that the color should last for 4 months and I'll only have to retouch the roots, is this true?

    You can wash it anytime you want. Goldwell's Elumen is probaby the longest lasting hair color out there. (IF it is applied correctly and processed the correct time) Elumen bonds to hair in a different way than other hair color that you mix with developer. The best thing about Elumen is you will probably see very little or no hair color come out in the water during your shampooing. Also don't have to worry about hair color on your towel. It fades very slowly and lasts a long time. I'm always using Elumen RR@all on my clients that want long lasting vibrant red.

    Yes, it will last 4 months. You will have to go back and touch up your roots as your hair grows, then reapply some Elumen to the previously colored areas and pull it through so the color matches.

    If you want it to last even longer, then make sure you use a GOOD sulfate-free shampoo and wash your hair in colder water.

    I've had Elumen last 6 months on my hair before it even started fading.
