I dyed my hair red before my surgery and dye comes off when washing it. Is it ok to wash my hair now or do I still have to wait?

I dyed my hair a week before my surgery and since it’s red the dye still comes off when washing it. I had surgery a week ago and have been afraid of washing my hair. Is it ok to wash my hair now or do I still have to wait?
