A composition for treating keratinaceous substrates which contains a cationic polymer having units of formula I: <IMAGE> (I) wherein: (a) R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 aminoalkyl, C1-6 haloalkyl, phenyl, C1-6 alkylphenyl, C1-6 alkoxyphenyl, halophenyl containing 1 to 5 halogen atoms, and aminophenyl containing 1 to 5 amino groups; (b) R4 and R5 are each independently C1-20 alkylene linkages bearing from 0 to 10 halogen or C1-6 alkoxy substituents; (c) X is -O- or -NH-; (d) R6, R7, and R8 are each independently C1-20 alkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R6, R7, and R8 contains a C10-20 groups; and (e) Y is a halide ion or C1-6 alkyl sulfate ion; in the presence of a non-polymeric surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants, anionic surfactants and mixtures thereof. |
