    So I dont need to add anything in my shampoo to make oil and water mix?

    No, you don't. However... not all surfactants are equally good as emulsifiers. And not all oils, when emulsified by surfactants, yield a clear solution. This also applies to fragrance oils. It is important to mix the oil with the surfactant prior to dilution.
