I seem to have a growing number of products that I 'need' on my hair but I'm not sure if there's a right or wrong order for applying them. I use a little Moroccan oil, then there's a frizz/fly away tamer, a heat protector, a style holder, a volumiser.... Sometimes they are combined, such as the styler with the heat protector but my question really is - what order should they be used? I put the oil on first as it needs to be absorbed directly but then is it volumising lotion followed by heat protector or fly away tamer first then volumiser?
What do you do?

Shampoo, water, conditioner, water.
I'm interested in the answers though as I don't use any of these products and would like to see what others use.
Would hair type determine order? (Thick, thin, straight, curly...)

Maybe. Mine is a little dry, coloured, prone to fluffiness and pretty flat if I don't add volume - hence the vast array of products in my bathroom.

There appears to be no magic product that can tame my hair, so I gave up and just wear it up most of the time.  |

I have lots of fine curly hair. After shampoo and conditioner in the shower, I spray on detangler and leave that in. Sometimes I use DHC's hair wax. Other times, I use a spray gel or mousse. I'm too impatient to flat iron, so my goal is to emphasize the curl: just scrunch and let air dry.

Some how in the last five years my hair has done a complete 180 on me. It used to be thick and curly, now it is frizzy, dry and thinning.
What the hell is that about??

Right now I'm using a clarifying shampoo. No conditioner because I hate the way it makes my hair feel. Occasionally I do use a leave in conditioner.

Shampoo, conditioner, styling gel, and a spritz of hair spray for those hairs that won't cooperate. Of course, my hair is now even shorter than my avatar picture, so a little goes a long way.

After I wash my hair,
I put in leave-in conditioner (I like L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free)
Then I put in Sebastian Potion 9 Wearable Styling Treatment
That's it - I usually let it half-dry, then finish drying/styling with blow dryer.

Shampoo (and a rinse), conditioner (and a rinse), a small second helping of shampoo on the top of my head only (rinse), wrap up in a towel and watch tv for at least an hour, spritz on 12 Benefits or whatever thing I feel like using, comb out, and then blow dry (which doesn't take too long since it was up in a towel for a long time.) |

I have thin, fine hair that sticks to my scalp. I recently switched to a volumizing shampoo and conditioner that has really helped with keeping it from laying flat against my scalp.
After I get out of the shower and towel dry my hair I use in this order; A volumizing textured balm that I rub between my palms and apply to my roots (Joico I believe, it is in a green bottle), Frizz Ease mousse also on my roots and a split end serum on my ends. As long as I blow dry with the concentrator nozzle with my head upside down I can really lift my roots up well.
After I style my hair I do a light spritz of hair spray. Usually concentrated near the front to keep the flyaways tamed.

I have short, thick hair that behaves if I style it the way it wants to go, and tends to be a bit frizzy in the humidity. I do: water, shampoo, water, conditioner, water, towel dry, a dab of mousse then blow dry. 2x a week, any more and my head is a haystack. I use the John Freida Red shampoo and conditioner, and whatever mousse is on sale.

I just explained my process in the curly hair thread, but basically
rinse
shampoo
rinse
conditioner (leave in while showering)
rinse
In the morning to style:
styling mousse
comb through with fingers and water until completely wet
scrunch with t-shirt lightly and not a lot
aerosol hairspray on top
non-aerosol hairspray on sides, scrunch
air dry
