Yep, This Is Actually How Often You Should Be Washing Your Hair

Anyone who frequently dyes their hair knows that washing it too much can dull your colour. That's why as a general rule, colourist Stephanie Brown says people with colour-treated hair shouldn't wash more than every other day.
"If you have drier hair, try waiting a little longer," she says. "You want your hair to absorb some of your natural oils so it's strong and shiny. If you feel like you need to wash your hair more often, use a substitute, like a co-wash or cleansing conditioner like the Unwash Biocleansing Conditioner. These don't strip the oils out and add moisture to the hair."
TLDR; If you have colour-treated hair, don't wash your hair more than every other day. Try to go at least three to four days without shampooing if you can to preserve the colour.
