I had my hair japanese straightened (but not stick straight) 6 months ago. is it a good idea to get highlights?

i had my hair straightened six months ago. and i've been wanting to get subtle highlights just around the front part of my hair. but i have to get my roots retouched. i plan to wait the recommended two weeks, or a bit more after my retouch if i get highlights. should i get them, or would that just really kill my hair? is there anything more gentle if i want highlights?I had my hair japanese straightened (but not stick straight) 6 months ago. is it a good idea to get highlights?
I would consult a stylist because it's hard to say if your hair is stable enough to handle getting highlights after the stress of chemical processes. I personally think that it may leave your hair dried out, the Japanese perms are pretty damaging to the hair, especially over time.

Ok so heres the deal.... after you get retouched get a deep conditioning treatment. then after the recomended two weeks you can get the highlights and again get a deep condition. then buy a moisturizing deep conditioner (i recomend Cloud 9 by Sebastion) and do that once a week. and make sure you are using a shampoo and conditioner made for colored hair! FYI my hair gets colored often and a blow dryer and flat iron used on it every day and is just fine because i deep condition it and everything.
you could do it, but be prepared for your hair to be extremely dry and damaged.
I used to dye my hair with Koolaid. :)


But yeah, bleach=fried hair.
noo especially if your black your hair will get damaged and break
lol it depends on who u are and looks isnt everything u know :P
