A foaming hair treatment agent includes alkoxylated silicones and cationic silicones. Together with the production of a fine-pore, creamy, and stable foam, side effects of environmental influences and of oxidative as well as surfactant hair treatments are to be reduced preferably during the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment but also after the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment without impairing the effectiveness of the oxidative or surfactant cosmetics, in particular with respect to color intensity, color fastness, lightening power, or waving effect, and while preventing oil buildup of the keratin fibers and the increased formation of dandruff.
