Hair shampoo compositions comprising from about 5% to about 30% of a surfactant, from about 0.2% to about 20% of certain hair shaping polymers, and from about 0.2 to about 20% of a solvent for said hair shaping polymers. These compositions have the advantages of washing and shaping the hair combined in a single product. The preferred compositions of the invention also include about 0.1 to about 10% of a silicone detangling agent. These compositions have advantages of untangling, washing and shaping the hair combined in a single product. The polymers allowing the shaping of the hair are characterized by a Tg greater than -20 ° C., and a solubility parameter, delta, of between 8.5 and 12.0. The solvent has a boiling point less than or equal to 300 ° C and a solubility parameter, delta, between 7 and 12.5. The ratio between the polymer and the solvent is between 20:80 and 80:20. |
