The present invention is related to an aqueous cleansing composition for keratin fibres especially human hair with shear thickening property. Specifically, present invention is on cleansing compositions for keratin fibres, especially for human hair, based on at least one anionic surfactant, especially anionic sulphate surfactant, at a concentration of 2 to 25% by weight, and further comprising at least one amino acid surfactant of the following structurewherein R1 is a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched alkyl chain with 7 to 17 C atoms, R2 is H or a methyl, R3 is H, COO- M+, CH2COO- M or COOH, n is 0 to 2, X is COO- or SO3- and M is independent from each other H, sodium or potassium, at a concentration of 0.1 to 15%, by weight, and at least one ethoxylated monoglyceride of the following formulawherein R4 is a saturated or unsaturated and branched or straight alkyl chain with a chain length of 7 to 21 C atoms and x+y+z has a value of 50 to 200, at a concentration of at least 1% by weight, all values calculated to total composition.
