A hair cleansing composition contains (a), (b), and (c). Component (a), as particles having mean particle size of 0.5-50 μm, is a polyalkyleneimine derivative or a salt thereof, having weight average molecular weight of 3,300-50,000, with at least one of R1—CO—, R2—(CH2)n—CHX—CH2—, and R3—NH—CO— bonded to 40 mol % or more of the N atoms of the polyalkyleneimine. In (a), R1 represents H, alkyl, alkenyl, or the like； R2 represents H, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, or the like； n is 0 or 1； X represents H or OH； R3 represents H, alkyl, or alkenyl； at least one of R1 to R3 has 13 or more carbon atoms, and the entirety of R1 to R3 has an average number of carbon atoms of 9 or more and a linear group content of 30 mol % or more. Component (b) is an anionic surfactant. Component (c) is a water-soluble cationic polymer.
