Abstract
Disclosed are hair styling shampoo compositions which deliver improved cleansing, lathering and styling performance. These shampoo compositions comprise an alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate surfactant, a hair styling polymer comprising one or more select hydrophobic monomer units, a non-polar volatile solvent, and water. Also disclosed are methods of cleansing and styling hair by using the hair styling shampoo compositions herein.
