A hair styling composition containing components (A) and (B), the mass ratio (B)/(A) being from 0.03 to 1. (A): Polymer obtained by copolymerizing 35-50 mass% of monomers represented by formula (1) and 50-65 mass% of monomers represented by formula (2) (R1 and R3 are H or CH3, R2 is a C1-8 alkyl group, R4 is a C1-4 alkyl group, p is 20-90). (B): Polymer selected from: copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid hydroxyalkyl esters and (meth)acrylic acid alkoxyalkyl esters; and copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid hydroxyalkyl esters, (meth)acrylic acid alkoxyalkyl esters, and (meth)acrylic acid dialkylamides.
