Subject: Should I perm my colored hair?

I've been getting perms in my hair since I was a high school student (I'm 24 years old now), but back in April I got my blonde hair highlighted for the first time.
Well, my cowlicks are popping up, and that's always a sign to me that it's time for a new perm. I'm worried, though--is it dangerous to get a perm since I've had color on my hair within the past six months?
Is there any professional that can give me advice? By the way, I've only had Redken Vector perms on my hair, as they have always seemed to work the best.
Thanks in advance.

It should be fine - your stylist can use a perm specifically for coloured hair, which is more gentle, and they leave the lotion on for less time, as your hair will be more porous...
If you've only got a couple of highlights they might still use the original perm to ensure that it is still as effective..
