I recently colored and highlighted my hair to a very light blonde. Keep in mind I had several layers of icky brown that had more or less washed off in over a year. What would be a good shampoo/conditioner that isn't overly expensive

Some people hate Suave some people swear by it. I prefer to buy shampoo designed for color treated hair as it works best with color treating. If you had a two process lightening then you have some toner which is a form of coloring the hair such that you do not want a clarifying shampoo that will strip it.
try to select conditioners and shampoos designed for color treated, damaged, dry hair. I have used Suave and a variety of other professional and nonprofessional shampoos. Some are better some are worse. Suave does a pretty good job of imitating more expensive shampoos for less money but some people scream when they read this. Yes the really expensive nicer shampoos at the Beauty supply and Beauty Salons are much better. I especially love Redkin as a shampoo and conditioner but it is not very common in this region so I just pick up something I trust not to destroy my hair like Suave if I am not near a Beauty supply or salon. Just try to wash and condition your hair only when needed. And if you can get a good shampoo avoid the conditioner as they tend to make colors and toners/tints come out often unless specifically designed for color treated hair. All color will fade eventually even just from air exposure and sunlight. Such that if you get a brassy color you can buy the shampoos that have a hint of bluing in them that are designed to brighten up white and grey hair because the bluing negates the brassy yellow tones in white hair that is turning white. Often they have a little bit of peroxide in them that brightens up the hair a little bit also so be sure to read the ingredients.
I have used Suave, Dove, Pantene (be sure to use the color type because it is a heavy conditioning shampoo that otherwise may strip out any color or toner), the new VO5 seems pretty good, White Rain, I like Fructis alot but my friend is allergic to it, Redkin products, a large variety of different types. As long as it does not come in a big gallon jug at a discount store today they seem pretty much to be in a good pH range for the hair. Just try to use shampoo designed for color treated hair. Everyone has their favorites. I am really curious as to what was in the body cleanser container at a hotel I stayed at across the border in Ciudad Juarez because it did not dry out my hair or my skin and left my body and hair feeling clean along with smelling good. I prefer the shampoos with vitamins like vitamin E because my hair is very dry. My color tends to fade very fast in the sun so if you have some color wear something to protect it from fade out.

Walmart has a lot of shampoos for recently highlighted hair in many reasonable price ranges. Just take a look in their shampoo isle and you'll be amazed at all the choices and with the low prices you can try a couple until you find one you like because everyone's hair is different. Good luck.

Pantene Pro V for color treated hair. There is a wide range of products and they are affordable in my cheap mind.
