I am 17 and a female. I am wanting to get blonde highlights. I tried the lemon juice out in the sun thing and it doesn't work on my light brown hair. I told my mom I want to go to a salon and get blonde highlights put in my hair. My mom is willing to let me get it done. Is highlights safe for the hair? Does is damage it or make hair fall out? Please let me know and if you can find any helpful sites on this please post it.

OnlyTheRightAnswers answered Thursday October 6 2005, 6:49 pm: I got some highlights towards the end of the summer because I had such a bland color of light brown hair. What I did is got partial highlights which means its only on the top layer of your hair and not all around your head (so if you put your hair up you'd just see your natural color under the ponytail). I think this is the best way because it doesn't dry out hair as much or damage as much. Just use a moisturizing or specific for color-treated hair shampoo and conditioner and I add serum into my hair for anti-frizz and moisture. My hair is still just as healthy as it was when it was natural so I would definitely recommend it. :) [ OnlyTheRightAnswers's advice column | Ask OnlyTheRightAnswers A Question ]

Highlights can be quite expensive though at salons. I know here they charge about 60 bucks. [ EvilCheshire's advice column | Ask EvilCheshire A Question ]
