Greetings and Salutations Internet Masses!
I hope this blog finds you happy, healthy and full of Love!
Today I realised I forgot to pick up fabric softener at the store when I was out and about shopping! DOH! What ever shall I do? Google how to make your own of course! Well, I found 3 recipes as such, and two of them use a baking soda/vinegar base.... well, making volcanoes 101 kinda turned me off on those. But, I did find one that uses hair conditioner, vinegar, water and essential oils! Et Voila!
The recipe :
3 cups of water
1 cup of conditioner
1.5 cups of white vinegar
10-20 drops of your favourite essential oil (I used Lavender)
Mix together and use like you would any fabric softener! BAM!
I use coconut oil in my hair because it's so damn dry here in CO! But a while back I bought Tresseme - uber sized hair conditioner for very dry hair, thinking my hair seriously needed some love. I found it to be too heavy and I didn't like the way it just coated my hair as opposed to actually nourishing it. My hair will soak up coconut oil and actually feels like it's 'feeding' my hair! I love it!
So, while I may be saving money on fabric softener, I'm making up for it in expensive coconut oil! HA! Swings and roundabouts I guess.
I've got my first load in the wash as I type. I will post an update to this when I get the results. Fingers crossed we have a winner!
Namaste~Hope
