Well, I used suave coconut conditioner then the tropical coconut shampoo then conditioner again. Next I rinsed and used my cream of nature shampoo then conditioned with gpb and some hot oil. Then I used my super charger by paul mitchell. I had to get all the henna out and get my hair back to a managable state. I used some ic leave in, pantene oil moisturizer with wrap lotion and a little castor oil. Next I combed thru and got under the dryer for about an hour. I slept in a satin scarf and ran thru it with a flat iron. My hair is wavy up top but I am able to comb thru without any breakage. So it worked out for me !
