Whether its highlights or your whole head it is damaging. being that your ends are dead once you do highlights your ends will go dead and you will have to get a trim.
when my hair was a little damaged I still got highlights but my hairstylist only used a 20 volume developer instead of 30 or 40. after doing so, my hair wasn't in a bad condition. just make sure you do daily hair treatments like hair mask, hot oil (coconut, olive, etc)
I do suggest letting a professional do it but talk with her/him first.

Also, I go to Aveda for my hair, I believe their products (haircoloring) is better for your hair than the average hair coloring.

Thank you marleen! should I cut it after the highlights or before?

If you go to the hairdressers, they will do the highlights first and then cut anyway, or thats what happens when I go xx

But you should do it before (highlighting) x

I get both done at the same time. But they always color first, then cut.

If your ends are dry, then I would suggest a good trim along with the hilights. with any bleach.process there is always slight damage, but if a llow volume developer is used your hairs integrity won't be effected. When was the last time you colored your hair? in some cases color can be used in place of bleach (if you have virgin hair). use a good shampoo and conditioner (Pureologys hydrate shampoo and conditioner is amazing) and a heat protector. unless your hair is incredibly damaged and over processed then I wouldn't worry about much damage.

And don't cut before. Cutting hair after you hilight ensures that all the dry/damaged ends are off. Listen to the professionals, we know best :-)

Oh, and like Marleen said...Avedas color and bleach is very gentle, and conditioning. I've worked with many lines and Aveda reigns supreme for me.
