Abstract: The present invention provides a hair cleansing composition comprising an anionic surfactant, a cationic polymer, a dialkyl ether, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by the general formula Ra—O-(AlkO)m—Rb and a polyoxypropylene polyglyceryl ether. The hair cleansing composition has a low viscosity at low temperatures and is thereby convenient to use. In addition, the hair cleansing composition maintains basic performance (e.g., good foam quality and good foam quantity) at low temperatures, and provides sufficient smoothness when scrubbing or rinsing hair. The hair cleansing composition according to the present invention can be provided, together with a foam discharge device, as a kit, and is applicable to a method for hair cleansing.

Abstract: A hair cosmetic composition containing or being prepared by blending a component (A), a component (B), and a component (C) below: component (A): a cationic surfactant, component (B): an amphoteric surfactant, and component (C): one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of a nonionic surfactant (C1), a modified silicone having a cationic group (C2), and a sugar alcohol having 4 or more carbon atoms (C3), having a mass ratio [(B)/(A)] of 0.4 or more and 5 or less, having a content of a higher alcohol of 0.1% by mass or less, and being used by filling up a non-gas type foam discharge container, and hair cosmetics using the hair cosmetic composition are provided.
