By combining two or more separate and distinct cosmetic preparations in independent gelling matrices to obtain a plurality of phases and combining the plurality of previously incompatible phases into a single container, a multi-phase, high viscosity cosmetic product is attained which assures that all phases are simultaneously dispensed from the container in a repeatable, consistent, metered ratio. By employing the present invention, a combined styling and conditioning product is achieved as well as a combined shampoo and conditioning product and a combined conditioner/conditioner for the face, hands or hair. In addition, the multi-phase, high viscosity cosmetic products of the present invention are preferably constructed with each of these phases being visually distinctive from each of the other phases, thereby providing a readily indentifiable and visually distinctive and pleasing appearance.

Multi-phase high viscosity cosmetic products

By providing a flexible, easily applied carrier which incorporates a combination of cationic hair conditioning agents and a water soluble or emulsifiable silicone-based compound, a unique hair treatment system is achieved. Preferably, the flexible carrier or applicator is constructed for being wrapped either entirely or partially about a head of hair and also incorporates hair enhancing agents, such as plant and herb extracts and, if desired, coloring agents, to further condition and enhance the hair. In the preferred embodiment, the hair treatment applicator is wrapped about the entire head of hair after shampooing, with the hair conditioners and hair enhancing agent contained therein being transferred to all of the hair fibers by the application of a hot towel to the wrapped applicator and subsequent thorough rubbing.
