I would recommend using a shampoo for lightened hair if the water in your home is hard water or is treated with chlorine. Hard water can cause highlights to turn brassy and water treated with chlorine can turn it green. Sally Beauty Supply carries quite a few brands--Clairol Shimmer Lights is probably your best bet (it smells really bad, though). L'Oreal Professional also makes one that I really like called Nature's Therapy Color Confidence Blonde Brightening Shampoo and Conditioner.

Shampoo for H/L is not a must, but you have to use a shamppo that is made for color treated hair. WHoever H/L your hair should have given yo a prescription for proper care. Stop being a do-it-yourselfer and do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
Not a must but to keep your hair healthy I would atleast use a cood conditioner and try shampoo for color treated hair.

Shampoos for color-treated hair are gentler and less apt to strip out the color.





Talk to your stylist about the best shampoos for you.
Of course not. The hair police are not going to come and arrest you if you don't use it.





There are very few ';CVS'; brands that I would personally use, but a few of them are Aussie, Citre Shine, or other naturally based non-animal tested products. My personal preference for under $15 is any Aveda shampoo or conditioner.
It's a good idea, not a must.





I use Pantene's Blonde Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Shampoo %26amp; Conditioner, Platinum Blonde to Sand Dune. My highlights are the lightest available by Clairol so this version works well for me. There are others available %26amp; you can choose the best one for your hair. In the source below is the link too. I pay about $6 for each, shampoo %26amp; conditioner, less than $15 total, including tax at Wal-Mart. I've also bought it on occasion at Target, similar pricing.





Hope that helps your choices.
Its not a must. But i would use some highlights shampoo for the frist like 5 times after you get highlights. Then use regular shampoo. Use nice n' easy highlights shampoo and conditioner. im not sure the price, but it works well.
If you have any color in your hair you need a shampoo/conditioner for color treated hair. The only brand that I would recomemend getting at CVS or any store would be Nexxus,because they used to be only sold in salons.Your are much better off going to a salon and getting the shampoo/conditioner because they quality is better and will last you much longer than getting the stuff at the drug stores for $5 dollars for both and have to run out and buy more in a month. Also if you have thick hair try Joico silk results for coarse/thick hair its good for color treated hair,has protein in it.
