about four to six weeks
Hair dye lasts about four to six weeks, in general. So it doesn’t stick to your hair forever — once your hair grows out the dye loses its effect and intensity because your roots start to show. And this would be a good time to take a trip to your favorite salon to get it recolored or refreshed.
What happens if you use old mixed hair dye?
