Do highlights fade a little after washing?
It really depends on what highlights you are getting. If you are getting the permanent highlights, then they do take a while to rinse out and they wont come out in the shower. If you are doing it yourself, then most likely, the highlights will rinse out in the shower. If you get them professionally done, they will last a longer time than the DIY highlights. If you want to go back and get darker highlights, go for it. the stylist can usually go back over the highlights with a darker shade. but it really depends on what salon you go to as well.

Highlights or ombre?
Regular highlights Highlights offer a great way to refresh your look and update your hair color without having to dye your whole head. Sections are dyed to create depth and texture and lighten the overall look. Pros Highlights are subtle: If you don’t want to dye your hair, highlights are a nice compromise -- just enough to lighten up your tresses for summer. Highlights are versatile: Unlike choosing one shade to dye your whole head, there are lots of options when it comes to getting highlights, depending on your hair color. Highlights can also add a lot of texture and depth to your hair and enhance your natural color rather than alter it completely. Cons Even though it’s only in sections, highlights can dry out hair. Darker roots will eventually appear, necessitating a trip to the salon (or a trip to the drug store for a fresh application). Highlights will naturally fade over time and are more likely to fade after long stretches in the sun. They can also be prone to discoloration when exposed to pool chemicals ---------------------------------------... Ombre hair For the last few years, ombre hair has been one of the top trends, embraced by everyone from Drew Barrymore and Rachel Bilson to Jessica Biel and Hilary Duff. Basically, ombre hair is accomplished by creating a dark root and then extending down to a lighter tip. Pros It’s a fairly low-maintenance look, meaning less frequent trips to the stylist. Ombre color creates a sexy/edgy look that's great for summer. Ombre hair works on any skin tone from very fair to dark. Just choose your hues accordingly. Cons If not done properly, it can look as if you’ve just lazily waited too long in between dye jobs. If your hair is very fine and super-straight, ombre hair can look one-note and flat. The look works best (and the most natural) on those with some body and movement to their hair. Having bangs doesn’t always work with ombre hair. Your bangs will be one color while the rest of your tresses are two-tone. For darker skin: Opt for deep reds, coppers and bronze. For medium skin: Think about rich browns, toffee and copper tones. For fair skin: Try ash tones, subdued blonde shades and golden caramel hues.
Does washing your hair frequently fade your highlights?

What can i do to prevent my caramel highlights from fading?
You need to use a shampoo & conditioner for color treated hair. Any hair products you buy should be for color treated hair. They will help protect your hair from the sun, thus protecting the caramel color from fading. Chlorine (swimming a lot) can also alter color. After 6-8 wks you could get a gloss/shine (clear color) put on your hair to freshen them up. Keep in mind that in 8-12 wks you will probably want to get them redone to keep up with the outgrowth. As for the other responses from other people - not all highlights are done with bleach, some can be done with color. Permanent color will not fade very fast - unless red was used, & for the most part, it stays in your hair until it is grown out & cut off. Semipermanent color usualy slowly fades over a time of 6-8 wks, sometimes it'll last up to 12 wks.
Does saltwater effect your hair if you have highlights?
I have highlighted my hair before with the kit from the drug store, I did it last time during the winter and I was very satisfied with how it looked. I want to do it again except this summer I plan to go to my grandma's place on the beach ALOT and my hair would get very exposed to saltwater often.
