I have a 3-D hair sculpture that is from 5 generations back, and it looks as good as new. It is behind glass, and the hair is twisted into flowers and leaves. So, I suppose a long time depending upon conditions. I believe it actually lasts longer than bone. (and it continues to grow for awhile after a person dies, just like nails do).

Depends on what it's exposed to. As a general answer: Longer than skin and flesh, shorter than bones and teeth.
It does NOT continue to grow after death.

They have been able to pull hairs from bodies almost 10,000 years old.
