Disclosed are personal care compositions suitable for styling hair, comprising: a) from about 0.01 % to about 20 % of a hair styling polymer; b) a polyorganosiloxane emulsion comprising: (a) a polyorganosiloxane dispersed as particles in the emulsion, the polyorganosiloxane having an average particle size of less than about 150 nanometers, and (ii) a surfactant system for dispensing the organopolysiloxane in the emulsion, wherein the amount of emulsion is such that the personal car composition comprises from about 0.01 % to about 10 % of the polyorganosiloxane; c) from about 0.01 % to about 10 % of a silicone - polyoxyalkylene copolymer surfactant selected from silicone - linear polyoxyalkylene copolymers and silicone - graft polyoxyalkylene copolymers d) a carrier comprising: (i) at least about 0.5 %, by weight of the composition, of a first solvent selected from the group consisting of water; water soluble organic solvents; organic solvents which are strongly to moderately strong in hydrogen - bonding parameter; and mixtures thereof; wherein the first solvent is other than a C1-C3 monohydric alcohol, a C1-C3 ketone and a C1-C3 ether; (ii) a second solvent. |
