The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising: from about 5% to about 50% of a surfactant from about 0.01% to about 10% of a conditioning agent from about 0.05 to about 5 weight percent of the personal care composition of an amphoteric ter-polymer of the following: i.) a cationic monomer encompassed by formula (I), in which: R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen or methyl, R3, R4 and R5 are independently linear or branched C1-C4 alkyl radicals, X is NH, NR6 or oxygen, wherein R6 is C1-C4 alkyl, L is CnH2n, n is an integer from 1 to 5, and A&minus is an anion derived from an organic or inorganic acid, such as a methosulphate anion or halide, such as chloride or bromide, ii.) at least one anionic monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and sulfonic acid containing monomers and iii.) a diallylamine monomer defined by formula (II), in which: R7 and R8 are independently hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl, and R9 is hydrogen, branched or linear C1-C30 alkyl, *-[AO]m&mdashR10, C1-C30 alkoxy, hydroxy substituted alkyl, alkylphenyl, carboxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl and carboxyamidalkyl AO is a C1-C4 alkylene oxide or mixtures of two or more types thereof, it being possible for the two or more types to be attached to one another in block form or in random form, m is an integer from 2 to 200, R10 is hydrogen or methyl and wherein the ratio of cationic monomer i) to anionic monomer ii) is from about 5 to about 1.
