I read the great article by struttswife live curly live free and it talks about how highlighting your hair actually blows holes in the cortex of the hair and it needs to be filled in with a protein treatment.

Then I'll start experimenting, it takes a couple washes to get my hair back to normal after highliting.
I wait a week to 10 days before doing a heavy protein treatment after getting colored & highlighted. Be sure to follow up with a moisturizing DT. I also do them a week to 10 days before getting colored/highlighted.
