What is a good product for hot oil treatments?

I was told that after you take out braids from your hair that a hot oil treatment is best along with a deep conditioner. My question is this true as far as the hot oil treatment and if so which brand is best?

You could use a number of oils. I think one of the more widely used ones would be olive oil or coconut oil. Coconut oil penetrates the hair very well. You could even add a few drops of an EO if you'd like. One way to do it would be to pour however much you need to do your head(our heads vary in size as well as hair length of course) and warm that up for 20 seconds or so and saturate your hair with it. Place a plastic cap on it and if youd like you could place a scarf on top of that. Do some chores around the house, take a nap, whatever and then wake up and rinse.

Olive oil is the best for EVERYTHING!!!

I then place a conditioning cap, but not without massaging my scalp after applying the olive oil completely. I then do whatever I feel like until I feel like washing it out. The longest I have kept it in was for 2 days. Then I proceed to wash my hair.
