Abstract
Undesirable effects, such as heaviness, oiliness and stringiness, accompanying the deposition of lusterizing amounts of polydimethylsiloxane on the hair during shampooing are reduced or overcome without substantially affecting luster by the presence in the shampoo composition of a polymeric hair bodying agent. The polymeric hair bodying agent also possesses the property of increasing the amount of polydimethylsiloxane deposited on the hair.

A lusterizing shampoo composition comprising:
- i. about 5% to about 25% of an anionic or amphoteric surfactant,
- ii. about 3% to about 60% of a polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity of about 1000 to about 2,500,000 centistokes at 25.degree.C,
- iii. about 1% to about 25% of a hair-bodying agent selected from the group consisting of:
- A. a wood rosin having a softening point of about 96.degree.C to about 125.degree.C and a Gardner-Holt viscosity of between about 20 and 40;
- B. bleached and dewaxed shellac;
- C. sucrose acetate isobutyrate;
- and
