Abstract: Hair is conditioned by applying to it a hair conditioning amide (a mononeoalkanoamide) of trialkylacetic acid (neoalkanoic acid), such as a monoamide of a mono-N-higher alk(en)yl amine and a trialkylacetic acid of 5 to 16 carbon atoms, or a polyamide of a trialkylacetic acid and a polyamine wherein the trialkylacetic acid moieties are of 1 to 10 carbon atoms in each of the alkyls thereof and each of the polyamine moieties contains from 2 to 5 amino groups.
