Hi Chiquita,

Do NOT put on a demipermanent color.  Do not use any products that contain peroxide or ammonia until you get control of the breakage.

Ok - so let's calm down a little bit and assess your situation.  How much of your hair did you highlight?  Let's look at the worst case scenario - that your hair will break off where it has been highlighted.  Would that be a lot of hair on your head?  Or just 8-10 sections?  (If a few small sections - you may be able to disguise the breakage with the right styling products.)

In any case, you need to deep condition your hair.  Find a deep conditioner with a lot of proteins, apply it to wet hair but don't rinse it yet.  Wrap a warm towel around your head for 10-15 minutes.  Then gently rinse with cooler water.  This will help improve the condition of your hair and prevent further breakage.

Until your hair is much healthier, I think the best way to disguise the uneven color is to get one of those "color sticks" that are designed to touch up grey roots.  It's temporary - so it won't damage you hair any further, but you'll have to keep up with it.

Good luck!


Karen
