yup, i do hot oil treatments as a pre-poo every week. i heat olive oil, add it to dry hair, then put a hot towel on, then cover that with a plstic cap for about 30min. then i poo, then I DC under my hooded dryer for 20 minutes. It is a way to protect my hair against the stripping effect of shampoo, also, it's a way for me to add protein treatment.
