Disclosed is a method of preparing a hair conditioning composition, wherein the composition comprising: a mono-alkyl amine cationic surfactant a high melting point fatty compound an anionic polymer comprising higher % of a vinyl monomer (A) with a carboxyl group and an aqueous carrier, wherein the method comprises a step: mixing the cationic surfactant, high melting point fatty compound, anionic polymer and aqueous carrier to form an emulsion. The method of the present invention provides hair conditioning compositions having reduced chunks while containing both mono-alkyl amine cationic surfactants and anionic polymers containing higher % of vinyl monomer with carboxyl group
