Have a pro do it, then buy whatever conditioner she recommends. The highlighted parts may get dry, but you'll be fine if you take care of it. Just do go too light... the lighter you go, the greater the "lift," the more peroxide needed, the more damage caused!

Coming from someone who has done just about everything to their hair of course it can damage it..doing anything other than washing it can damage your hair. Curling, blow drying and anything else that is un natural can damage your hair. BUT this dosent mean you shouldn't do any of those things. First of all, going to a pro is the best thing to do....(as i have learned box dye is not very reliable and not very good for your hair , esp if you bleach it....colors are fine they don't "strip" your hair...) . you have to take care of your hair no matter what you do ...i blow dry and curl my hair everyday...i bleached it not too long ago..therefore my hair was fried. All you have to do is make sure you put moisture back into your hair. Use a heavy conditioner, or "hair mask" you can get at any salon. or...just condition every day. Even if your hair is naturally oily..you still need to condition, just dont use leave in conditioner. Along with a good shampoo for colored hair, it is always a MUST .....to condition ;-)

If you are getting it done professionally and you do not already have other chemical treatments done (perms, dye, relaxers, etc) the damage will be minimal. Do you have hair longer than mid-back? Only truly old hair (more than 2 or 3 years' growth) which is repeatedly highlighted would really show any visible damage.

There are actually benefits of highlights. They will plump up your hair adding volume and they will really add dimention to a good haircut.

I say that if you do it, pay for a quality job and don't be afraid to keep it up if you like the way it looks. If the color difference is subtle, you would be able to go 3 months between touch ups. Four times a year is not going to do much to your hair. Besides, it will always grow back.
