Mixing Oil w/water Based Products??

[Malice]

I bought a spray bottle and I wanted to mix my Brahmi Amla oil in with my braid spray, along with another oil (haven't made up my mind about which one) to spray on my scalp while its in micros. Anyway, when I've gone to mix it, it just doesn't 'feel right'. I feel like the oil and water are going to separate and really not do me any good. I thought I read about someone having their own mixture in their spray bottles, any success with oil/water products? Specifically mixing Brahmi Amla oil? I have the Hesh Brand.

Feel free to share your own mixtures too please, Thanks!

When I do my rollerset mix, water, lacio, oil and setting lotion, I keep it on my heater at home. (cause it's so cold and the oil (coconut) hardens up) I just shake every now and then when I apply.

Thanks, I really wanted to get some coconut in there, but that's exactly what I'm afraid of, it hardening up in my braids and looking a gooky mess, so I'm nixing that from my mix. So I guess as long as I shake it up before every use it should be good. I'm probably gonna throw the little bit of WGO I have left and the half bottle of Doo Gro oil I have left.

I read that mixing Polysorbate 80 in with water and oil based mixes helps them mix better. (also some say sit aids in boosting hair growth)

I have not tried though. You may want to google it.

Here are a few sites:
