It was just you who spent a lot of time and money on your hair. The immediate question that comes to your mind is how long hair color stays? If only the color could stay fresh all the time, but actually, it is more of a "it depends" kind of answer.
To put it simply, the period could be just one week, or even (or until the hair grows out) forever. So, here is in fact a detailed explanation of what you can really expect.
Each dye is like a different character in a play, or a different property in a chemical compound. Some only stay on your hair like a layer of paint, while others enter and become part of the hair.

In short, the time for which hair color stays is mostly dependent on the person and the dye used. The permanent dye lasts until the roots are visible but, even then, if you want your hair to look shiny and healthy, you need a "refresher" every 6 weeks. Use the dye appropriately and it will serve you well.
