If you can let color sit 24 hrs. its for the best. Also be sure to use only color treated shampoo and conditioner on your foil. If its not color treated you will loose your colors faster and the shine will fade. Color treated products are acidic balanced. Others are alkaline balanced and so is the color that was put in, so the alkaline product removes the alkaline color. If it was highlights with bleach you still need to use color treated products to prevent dryness and breakage.
