I have chemically damaged caucasian hair. Right now, it is very dark brown, almost black -like- between levels 3 or 4. (Accident.) Do I put a protein filler on it before I pull it through a cap to highlight it? Or, do I put the protein filler on after the highlight? (Even if this means me getting a hair cut to trim off the breakage, I still need to have it lightened. It is too dark for my pale skin. But I appreciate your concerns!) Thanks for your time! ^_^

I would do the protein treatment before you highlight it. Then after you highlight it, I would do a moisturizing treatment. Just to let you know, with hair that dark, you may end up with an orangish-golden blonde color. If that happens, you will then have to apply a color over top to correct it. It sounds like you plan on doing this yourself, but you may want to go to a salon, making dark hair blonde is usually a 2 step process.
