The present invention relates to hair shampoo compositions comprising from about 5 % to about 30% of a surfactant, from about 0.2 % to about 20 % of certain hair styling polymers, and from about 0.2 % to about 20 % of a solvent for said hair styling polymer. These compositions provide hair cleaning and styling benefits from a single product. Preferred compositions of the present invention additionally comprise from about 0.1% to about 10 % of a silicone hair conditioning agent. These compositions provide hair conditioning, cleaning and styling benefits from a single product. The polymers which provide styling benefits are characterized by a Tg of greater than -20 °C, and a solubility parameter, .delta., of from 8.5 to 12Ø The solvent has a boiling point of less than or equal to 300 °C and a solubility parameter, .delta., of from 7 to 12.5. The ratio of polymer to solvent is from 20:80 to 80:20. |
