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 a polyol and an aqueous carrier, wherein the method comprises the steps: mixing the cationic surfactant, high melting point fatty compound, polyol and aqueous carrier to form an emulsion and adding the anionic polymer to the emulsion before, during or after forming the 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.
