How long does permanent hair dye last?

I died my hair red about three years ago. I've then since gotten many haircuts. My hair is naturally reddish, but my sister insists that it is because of the hair dye, and she insists African-Americans cannot have reddish hair. Is it possible for the hair dye to have stayed and not faded for three years? I know the answer, but I want to prove it to my sister. Thank you!

HAHAHHAAAHAHA!!!! NOPE! "Permanant" hair dye, even with the best shampoos that are specifically for color treated hair, will NOT keep the color for three years. It will always fade, usually due to environmental factors such as sun, dry elements, etc., not to mention that your roots would have grown out by now! Sorry sister....the girl is a redhead!

I would believe that it is possible for your hair to not fade and stay the same color for 3 years, but I think if you are using a shampoo for colored hair it is even more likely. The only thing is that your hair would have had to grow out some and over three years you would think that your hair dye would be long gone since you have cut your hair, unless you have died it since.
