Abstract: 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.
