Hi, does anyone know what is the best order in which to apply products to your hair after it is washed? I have a leave-in conditioner, mousse, and shine gel which I use but I don't know what should go on 1st, 2nd, 3rd... Any help is appreciated! Kelly F.

Leave-in conditioner is first.If you are using mousse and shine gel (does it provide any hold?) same time I would say mousse and then gel.At least that's the way I do it.RegardsKay> Hi, does anyone know what is the best order in which> to apply products to your hair after it is washed?

Hi Kelly!Always start with your leave-in conditioner first,... it doesn't matter if it's a spray or an actual creme. Then, as long as the shine gel is only made of silicone with NO hold, apply it next-- followed by the mousse. However, if the shine gel that you are using contains any fixatives (such as PVP, acrylates copolymer, SD alcohol, or any form of guar) apply it after your mousse. In general always start with the "light" products and then move onto those which are heavier or have the most hold.Sherry
