Got hair highlighted March 1st. Color has all but faded. Split ends are finally under control. Can I risk highlighting again? I only highlight 3/4 of the strands from the top down to about 2" from the ends. Will it damage my hair if I color it this soon?

You should be ok to do it again.  I have a heavy weave done on mine about every 2-3 months from dark blonde (natural) to golden blonde (highlights).  When I do get it done, they only do the new growth and blend it in.  I also do a deep conditioning treatment 1-2 times a week and have healthy hair.  What color is your hair and what color are your highlights?  HAve you considered trying a violet shampoo for blonde/silver hair?  When my hilights are looking ill it works for me,  I also use it on occasion on my son's hair which is dark brown with natural dark gold highlights and it works great for bringing out his color.


I rinse once a month with apple cider vinegar or seltzer/tonic water to get all the deposits out of my hair and that lightens it up too.

Tanya, Good advice! Thx! Actually, I have found the miracles of color-enhancing shampoo when the highlights have become drab. I have medium blond (natural) hair with light/golden blond highlights. I like them alot. Apple cider vineager .. hmmm never heard of that. I will try it. I also worry about what will happen when I go to Cedar Point next month. Wearing a hat is not an option with my hair, but I have a shamp/cond with sunscreen. WIll I be okay or will it effect my highlights if I get them re-done about 2 weeks before my trip?

Spray on leave-in conditioner with sunscreen.  and take a little spray bottle with you in your pack and use that through out the day - esp if you are going on water rides.  You should be ok, if nothing else your highlights might lighten out a bit.  I asked Marty (the guy that does my hair) about you today and he said he redoes weaves every 3-4 months.  I had mine done the end of Feb and he says I am "due" now for another visit.  I guess that is the down side when my stylist's kids play ball with his kids -- he can keep an eye on me! :p  I am going in next Tues to get my nails done, but am not going to do my hair again until closer to sept.  Getting married Sept 24 :) and don't want to do it twice before then. 


I really miss Cedar Point :(  You can email me directly if you wish -- nermal7744@usa.net
