Does anyone one do Hot oil treatments where..

[vevster]

you put oil on dry hair the night before and wash in the morning? Is this beneficial to take the time out and do?

This is EXACTLY what I do!

I heat up EVOO in the microwave before my shampoo day (around 9 pm -- usually Friday nights) and sleep on it. I wash it out when I wake up. I cover my head with a plastic cap, and then my satin cap to prevent the rustling sound. I find it seals in moisture well, and prevents my hair from getting too dry during the shampooing process.

I've tried this several times in the past, and I've found that for me, it doesn't have any extra benefits over putting EVOO on my hair for 30 minutes and then rinsing it out.

To boot, it's uncomfortable and all I could think about was "if this stuff soaks through the towel and gets on my pillow my mom will strangulate me," so I didn't get much sleep.
