Shampoo composition

An aqueous shampoo composition, comprising:

• (A) 1-40% by weight of at least one amidoamine amphoteric surface active agent having the formula (I) or (II):
• ##STR23## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 each independently represents a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 7 to 19 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 each independently represents a group:
• ##STR24## wherein M.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an alkanolamine, and R.sub.5 represents a hydrogen atom, --CH.sub.2 COOM.sub.1, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOM.sub.1, or ##STR25## wherein M.sub.1 has the same meaning as defined above;
• (B) 0.005-0.3% by weight of a modified silicone polymeric compound having the formula (VI) or (VII):
• ##STR26## wherein R.sub.10 is a methyl group or a hydroxy group, R.sub.11 is a methyl group or a hydrogen atom, R.sub.12 is an aminoalkyl group of the formula (III):
• ##STR27## wherein R.sub.6 represents a divalent hydrocarbon group, R.sub.7 represents --OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, ##STR28## R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 are individually a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group, and a and b denote integers of 1-6, R.sub.13 is a hydroxy group, a hydroxyalkyl group, an oxyalkylene group or a polyoxyalkylene group, and l, m and n are integers depending on the molecular weight;
• and
• (C) 0.01-3% by weight of at least one nonionic polymer.
