Accordingly, the present invention provides a visually clear aqueous conditioning serum for the hair comprising: 50 to 95% wt. water, 0.1 to 8% wt. silicone microemulsion, 5 to 15% wt. copolymer of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol according to one of the following formulae: HO(CH2CH2O)x (CH (CH3) CH2O) y (CH2CH2O) z H (I) HO(CH(CH3)CH2O)x (CHCH2O) y (CH2 (CH3)CH2O) z H (II) with the mean value of y in the range from 10 to 60 and the values of x and z both in the range from 1 to 150, 0.5 to 1.5% wt. thickener. The composition according to the invention conditions the hair without depositing too much silicone.
