    3. Can I dye my virgin and dyed hair a base color such as a caramel brown/dark blonde and then put highlights on top?

    1.) When you highlight, the dark pieces you don't pick up will become lightened when you put the toner over your entire head once the bleached highlights are done bleaching. The toner will lighten dark brown hair to light brown assuming you use a cool blonde toner.
    Example: I started at will dark brown almost black hair and achieved a nice medium blonde shade with about 4 sets of highlights. After pictures:

    2.) You can't touch up highlights except for re-highlighting your whole head. To keep from getting "too blonde", only pull the darker pieces each time your re-highlight. It will eventually get your head to around the same shade range. If it gets too light, just use a darker toner. At first (your first set of highlights) you're going to want to use a light ash blonde toner anyway to tone out red & dark tones.

    3.) You don't want to dye hair a base color and then put highlights because it won't work. You have to strip color out of non-virgin hair before the bleach will work right. You would have to highlight first and then tone your entire head with a toner, and then if you really hate the color with the toner, I guess you could always dye it all.
