You can also make hairspray with SUGAR WATER?!?!!!

Do it yourself FABRIC SOFTENER!
After you make your own Laundry Detergent, make some fabric softener.
Instructions from Frugal Living
Materials
1 cup water
1 cup baking soda
2 cups white vinegar
20 drops of essential oil of your choiceChoose a container with ample room to ensure that thereâs enough room for the chemical reaction that will occur. Combine the above ingredients, beginning with the water, essential oil and baking soda and then very slowly adding the vinegar to avoid the volcano effect.
Use 1/2 cup in the rinse cycle of your washer or wet a washcloth and throw it in the dryer with your clothes.
