Disclosed is a hair cosmetic composition characterized by containing (A) an acrylic polymer described below and (B) a nonionic polymer. The hair cosmetic preparation is also characterized in that the mass ratio (A)/(B) is within the range of 0.1-10.0. (A) an acrylic polymer which contains, as constitutional units, 70-95% by mole of a monomer unit represented by general formula (1) and 5-30% by mole of a monomer unit represented by general formula (2) (In the formulae, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a -CH2OH group A represents an oxygen atom or an -NH- group R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, an ammonium or an amine.)
