Abstract

A terpolymer suitable for use as a film former in hair setting compositions is obtainable by free radical polymerization of 10%-24% by weight of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 46%-74% by weight of tert-butyl acrylate or methacrylate and 16%-30% by weight of acrylic or methacrylic acid, whose carboxyl groups may be partially or completely neutralized with an organic amine, ammonia or a basic alkali metal compound and which has a K value of from 25 to 65.
