Instead of spending money on liquid fabric softener, I use hair conditioner--the cheaper the better! Combine about 1 cup of conditioner with 1 gallon of hot (NOT BOILING) water. Stir until conditioner has all dissolved. Before using, just lightly swirl container. Add +/- conditioner, according to how hard your water is. I've been doing this for years.
I keep a gallon milk jug and top, to use. Put the conditioner in, add hot water from the tap, cover and shake.

Believe it or not, my best friend and I used to use Downy for hair conditioner. I don't know that it would be recommended but it sure was the best thing I've ever used on my hair. Just had to write because of the total irony of the exact opposite! (12/11/2008)

I have used fabric softener for conditioning my hair since 1972, and it smells GREAT! A big jug of Snuggle from the warehouse store lasts forever. (12/18/2008)

Wow. Using petro chemical fabric softener is bad enough for the environment...and thrifty ladies like to bathe their bodies and hair in this?
Please... try some cheap essential oil blends at the Health Food store or from a friend. Good ones $, but you might enjoy even more. Test on paper for purity.
Dilute with cooking oil, apply to body as fragrances. Add few drops to your hair conditioner. Can make homemade poo spray etc. Endless beautiful fragrances .
