Collapsible foam aerosol hair product

A hair treating composition to be dispensed from a pressurized aerosol container as a stable, collapsible foam, said composition comprising:

• A. from about 10 to 97% by weight of an aqueous intermediate comprising:
• (i) from about 0.25 to 5% by weight of a high molecular weight polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic polymers, aminefunctional polymers and mixtures thereof;
• (ii) from about 0.25 to 2% by weight of quaternaryamonium compound having the following formula:
• ##STR5## Wherein R.sub.1, is a alkyl group having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, a mixture of alkyl groups having an average chain length of from 8 to 16 carbon atoms or tallow if R.sub.2 is a group having the formula [CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O].sub.n H, R.sub.2 is an alkyl group having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, a mixture of alkyl groups having an average carbon atom chain length of from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, an alkyl group having from 1-4 carbon atoms, a group having the formula [CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O].sub.n H, wherein .sub.n is a number from 2 to 16 and mixtures thereof, R.sub.3 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a group having the formula [CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O].sub.n --H, wherein .sub.n is a number from 2 to 16 and mixtures thereof, R.sub.4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl and mixtures thereof and A is an anion;
• (iii)and the balance water;
• and
• (B) from about 90 to 3% by weight of a propellant and
• (C) less than 10% alcohol having 1-4 carbon atoms, whereby said composition is essentially alcohol free.
