DIY Hair "Milk"


Loveee this Garnier Soothing Milk Conditioner.  But when I couldn't find
it anywhere last month I decided to try to make some of my own.  Well
its not a very scientific method but I mixed hair conditioner, olive oil, and 
vanilla extract together.  Keeps hair smooth and frizz free and smells great! :)
