Yeah, I don't religiously follow the steps either. It's more like a buffet of tips where I sample some of them. I still shampoo, but much less often. My other take aways were to stop using a hairbrush, I rarely use a wide tooth comb anymore either (mostly finger comb in the shower) , and don't touch the hair while it's drying.
If I have a party or something, I'll use gel and let it form a proper cast, etc etc.
It's great it's not an all or nothing thing. It lets you see what components make a bigger difference and then you can pick and choose what you do when.
I wish trial sizes were a thing though. GF bought a ton of stuff that either didn't help or made her hair worse, so there's a lot of 90% unused bottles, which at least I end up experimenting with, but some of the styling stuff I don't use so it just sits there forever.
That'd be a good business for someone with more patience than I. Buy all this stuff and sell little travel sizes a la carte. One year I got her a ton of perfume sample so she could find new fragrances without a big upfront expense and she's really enjoyed that, and we learned Kohls sells a few products like that we're you get a few samples for the price of a single bottle and it gives you a code to get a discount off the one you like best.
