How much to condition hair

My hair has a lot of flyaway hairs and is dry. I went to a salon to ask for help with this and was told that I use too much conditioner and that all that protein is bad for my hair. I wash every other day and I use conditioner each time. I also do a deep condtion about every week and a half. I also use leave-in conditioner. She told me to wash my hair as normal with Paul Mitchell Moisturizing shampoo but only conditioner every other time, which would be about every 4 days. She said no leave in conditioners or heat protecters either as they normally contain alcholo that will cause more dryness. Any thoughts on this? Should I take this advice? I blowdry every time I wash, but very rarely use a flat-iron or curling iron anymore.
