I am 2 years into my transition and the last time I had highlights was 2 years ago as well. I never had problems with highlights when I was relaxed but I am wondering if an naturals can chime in with their experience with highlights while natural.
My hair is dark brown and I have always gotten about 3 different shades of highlights which included a light blond, bronze, and some type of copper. My original plan was to wait until I became 100% natural until I got highlights again. That may be a ways off since I don't plan to BC anytime soon; I have 12 inches natural hair and 10 inches of relaxed hair, so about half and half.
I know that I will have to up the moisture on the hair with highlights, (even more than when I was relaxed), but what are some other things I should be doing differently or more of as a natural with highlights?
I think my transition will probably go on for at least another year and a half and I just can't wait that long to get highlights again - they are calling my name in a few months!
Any advice will be appreciated.

P.S. There is a member here that is natural and has them. Her hair is really pretty. Her name is right on the tip of my tongue but I am having a brain fart and can't think of it. She is a Delta.
