Abstract
Disclosed are hair styling shampoo compositions which comprise from about 5% to about 50% by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactants having an attached group that is anionic at the pH of the composition, and combinations thereof; from about 0.025% to about 3% by weight of an organic cationic polymer having a cationic charge density of from about 0.2 meq/gm to about 7 meq/gm and a molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 10 million; from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a water-insoluble hair styling polymer; from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a water-insoluble volatile solvent; and from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight of select cationic materials for use as spreading agents for the styling polymer; and from about 22% to about 94.3% by weight water. The composition provides improved spreading efficiency of the styling polymer onto hair, thus providing improved styling performance from the shampoo composition.
