A composition that protects the hair from thermal damage and doubles as an excellent hair styling aid, in the form of a hair spray, mousse foam or gel composition, and method of applying the composition to hair prior to substantial configuring of the hair in its final configuration. After application of the composition to wet or dry hair, prior to styling, the applied composition, including a polymer having a Tg less than about 120°C, is heated to the glass transition temperature of the polymer, while the hair is in the desired configuration, and thereafter the heat is removed from the polymer to cool it to a temperature below its glass transition temperature to harden the polymer in a shape complimentary to that of the desired final hair configuration. The thermoplastic polymer fixative may include a plurality of sulfonated dicarboxylic acid moieties and/or neutralized sulfonate moietie. The composition includes a water and/or alcohol carrier, and a water-soluble or alcohol-soluble thermoplastic fixative polymer or resin in an amount of at least about 0.1% up to about 20% by weight of the composition, but below a level at which adjacent hair shafts are adhered together, and preferably, in an amount in the range of about 0.5% to about 4% of the composition, particularly about 0.5% to about 3% by weight of the composition.
