Proposed is a conditioning composition comprising from 0.4 to 8 wt.% fatty alcohol having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, from 0.1 to 2 wt.% cationic surfactant component containing up to 70 wt.% cationic surfactants having the formula N+R1R2R3R4 of the weight of said cationic component, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently (C1-C30) alkyl or benzyl, and water, and wherein said composition imparts to treated hair a draw mass of 1 to 250 g, wherein the draw mass is a mass required to draw a hair tuft through a comb or brush, measured by first placing a hair tuft on a comb or a brush so that 5 to 20 cm of hair remains on the side of the glued end of the tuft, and then adding weights to said tuft end until hair slides through the comb or the brush; wherein said composition comprises a conditioning gel phase formed of a co-melt comprising fatty alcohol and a cationic component and up to 0-15 wt.% water (A) of the co-melt weight; the co-melt being mixed with water (B) at 50-60°C while the temperature of said mixture is maintained at 56-65°C. Also proposed is a conditioning composition including a conditioning gel phase that is formed of the co-melt and water, wherein the co-melt and water are added to a mixer separately and mixed while maintaining a temperature of 56-65°C in the mixer. Also proposed is a conditioning composition, wherein the conditioning gel phase is formed of an isotropic water solution of a cationic component and wherein said isotropic water solution is mixed with a molten fatty alcohol while maintaining a temperature of 55 to 65°C during mixing. Also proposed is a conditioning composition, wherein the conditioning gel phase is formed of water dispersion of a fatty alcohol and amidoamine and wherein a cationic surfactant is added to the water dispersion and mixed with it, and amidoamine is neutralized, while maintaining a temperature of said mixture of 55 to 67°C. The proposed conditioning compositions have improved conditioning properties providing a
