Semi Permanent dyes, from experience, it's about 2 weeks to a month. Those dyes fade away quicker. Permanent dyes, it's about a month or so. It's never completely faded away though. I dyed my hair a lighter brown and I grew my hair out.. My roots came in hella and I still had that lighter brown.. it seems as though the only way to fix it, is to dye over it or cut off the ends.
When you bleach hair, you are stripping out every pigment of color. It's impossible for it to go back to it's normal color. I've bleached my hair a lot. I'm a dark brunette and 2 months after the bleaching, it's STILL a dirty blonde color. It only seems to work out better for dirty or dark blonds. Their roots come in and take over. You just have to dye over it and grow it out.
yes highlights do fade away over time... but some of the products for that contain bleach.. so it doesn't always fade back to the original color.
For hair dyes, you can do a dish soap treatment to fade it. I had colored hair and you get some well, "dish soap" and put one of those caps on it.. for about 20 mins or longer. Strips the color out slightly..
Ask someone at a salon though. They probably know more .

Bleach hair doesn't go back to normal unless you dye it the EXACT color which is nearly impossible. The only way to get your normal color back is to wait for it to grow completely out. No dye fades away completely. [ soendearing's advice column | Ask soendearing A Question ]
