Conditioning products

What conditioning products are ppl using? I typically wash my hair every other day and I always use a "daily" conditioner after I wash it. But, I never do a deep conditioner. I use coconut oil on my hair prior to installing, but nothing when it's on my head.
I have also noticed that lately my scalp is dry and flakey. When I remove, dye, clarify, and re-install, my scalp takes a beating. It gets very dried out from this. I can't put some super moisturizer on it because my glue and tape will disintegrate. It looks like I have horrible dandruff. Are dandruff and dry scalp the same thing? If they are then I do have horrible dandruff, but I really believe that it is due to the harsh products I use on my head combined with no "moisturizing".
This is awful with my dark hair, since I work in the school district I worry that someone will think I have lice. affraid

I don't and never had .... ack!

I been using the pureology hydrate conditioner, and the hydracure once a week, and a good one from Sally's is the Aphoghee keratin reconstructioner, it makes the hair so soft, when the ends are feeliing dry!

Oh I condition my hair every time I shampoo my head Shocked

THATS pretty much every other day sometime everyday.
I USE TAPE AND GLUE ALSO BUT I ONLY USE 1 long line around my head.

I have never lost tape and no hair has ever fallen out ,
I always condition the top of my head always,
I THINK even if you had tape and glue all over your head you could still
condition your head at least 1 time a week with out it all falling out ?
this tape and glue holds up pretty well if you as me

my Daughter put what ever conditioner and oily styling stuff all over her hair and she has never lost anything.
I think if you have the time Just try it and if it falls be prepared to fix it all up ..
but your poor head has to have moisture in it ...My hair is fried and it needs it,

I Just bend down - forward and rinse ?
I know they say don't use conditioners with tape and clue

The apogee is awesome. I usually remove my install, color, redkin fat cat treatment and leave overnight caked with conditioner. i've been just now using Giovanni some kind of charged shampoo and conditioner. I don't have a rating yet on it, it works well, not too oily but not too dry. Now whether it lives up to what it says it does, not sure.

I agree on the Aphrogee too! I've used the Keratin reconstructer several times now after I take out my install, and I truly notice a huge difference in the condition of my hair!
I've tried doing the coconut oil 'soak', and I've never seen any improvement.
After my last hair trim, the stylest pointed out that my highlighted hair needs the proteins than just the oil, for a great treatment. She also informed me to look for conditioning products with avocado oil included in the ingredients....which the Aphrogee has.
I haven't used the aphrogee on extension hair tho, just my own natural hair.
