Problem To provide a hair styling cosmetic composition which is excellent in hair styling property, hair restyling property and hair set retention property, even though being water-based and having a low viscosity, and is excellent in non-stickiness, smoothness, and light finish of the hair. Means for Resolution A hair styling cosmetic composition comprising (a) a surfactant being solid at room temperature (25°C) in an amount of from 1.5 to 12% by mass, (b) a polyalkylene glycol polymer being liquid at room temperature, and (c) a film-forming polymer, wherein the viscosity of the system is at most 10,000 mPa·s (at 25°C with B-type viscometer).本發明係揭示一種整髮用化妝料,其係含有(a)常溫(25℃)下為固體之界面活性劑1.5~12質量%、(b)常溫下為液體之聚烷二醇聚合物(例如Mw200~900之聚乙二醇等)及(c)皮膜形成性高分子,系統的黏度為10,000mPa‧s以下(25℃,B型黏度計)。本發明之整髮用化妝料屬於水性系,低黏度同時具有優異的整髮能力、再整髮能力、髮型維持能力,且具有不會產生黏膩感、滑順及使完成之髮型具輕盈感等優點。
