Do the bark scratch test on your plant.
If you see green, that portion is still alive.

I would trim away any material that is dead. If it snaps off and breaks, it is dead. If any branches bend, leaves those.
I also had a newly planted Willow die off all the way to about 6 inches from the soil surface. Know how hard Willow is, I cut it all back to green bark and waited it out. It has slowly began to grow and leaf out. Give yours some time!
