It must be very hard to lose your hair and for it to come back totally different than it was before.
I have short fine hair and I use nothing at all and haven't for several years. I don't even let my hairdresser use shampoo on it. I rinse with water whenever I shower and towel it dry. No product, no need for shampoo or conditioner. I found that when I quit shampooing my hair it balanced itself out and I didn't need to add back any moisture because I hadn't stripped it out with shampoo. I weaned my hair off shampoo over time, cutting back on frequency and the amount of shampoo I used, but I imagine not everyone will have the same results or will want to go through the weaning process. I also don't use styling product because I have a good cut that suits what my hair wants to do and is shaped for my face.
I don't know if giving up everything would work for you or not or how long it would take for your hair to adjust, especially given that it's damaged from the treatments, but if you want to read more about people giving up shampoo there is information online - they usually use the term "no 'poo"
