Hair highlights
I have naturally pin straight thinish red hair with lots of layers and ends just above the middle of my back. It's more of a strawberry blonde/brownish indoors but outdoors in the sun it's like blazing orange. I dyed it an auburn color using henna hair dye from Lush a few months ago.
My roots have grown out a lot so I plan on re-dying my hair again with the left over henna I have.
I've been wanting to get highlights in my hair for awhile and I plan on getting it done professionally. I wanted something subtle but not so subtle that nobody with notice. I was thinking like a golden honey color, maybe? I've never gotten my hair highlights before or professionally colored. I'm really anal about that and having my hair get damaged so I have no idea what I'm supposed to ask for. Does anybody have any suggestions?
How long should I wait after using the henna to go and get this done?
Also, I have side bangs. I'm not getting any part of my hair cut when I get this done. Should I get highlights on my bangs, too? It's a pretty big bang, it covers my entire forehead.

^That's a picture of my hair outdoors after I dyed it auburn. It's a little faded by now. But once I re-dye it I'm assuming it'll be a bit darker than that.

From the pic, (you have really pretty hair!), I think honey-highlights would look GORGEOUS! It would be a great great summer look.
If you were to color your hair, you should protect it when your outside. Otherwise the sun may change it for the worse. There are a bunch of "hair sunscreens" online that I would suggest you invest in. This one:

^^This one is good because it is specifically for colored hair.
In terms of your side bangs, I would get those lightly highlighted to. Otherwise, your hair would look uneven, and you could tell it was dyed. The ideal situation is that if someone just met you for the first time, you don't want them to think you have a "cheap job" or that your hair coloring is uneven.
Send me an after pic! I would love to see how your coloring turns out:)
Enjoy your summer locks! xx
