what shampoo and conditioner to use after getting BKT?
I know it's not supposed to have sodium chloride in it, does anyone have any recommendations? Anything they loved?
TIA!

I bought a shampoo from the salon
If you go to a health store like GNC, they have a JASON brand which is good

Is this the keratin treatment? When I got it done my hairdresser gave me Joico Body Luxe Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner to use.

from our faithful wikipedia :)
Brazilian Keratin Treatment (also known as "BKT") is a new way to make your hair straight and frizz free.
Unlike the Japanese straightening, the Brazilian Keratin treatment is not permanent and is better used on damaged, porous hair.
You can highlight the same day you do the BKT.
The BKT will wash out in 2 to 3 months, depending on how porous your hair was before the treatment. The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results, and the longer it will last.
Basically this product has Keratin in it and the Keratin will crystallize and coat the hair shaft, sealing in shine and keeping out moisture/frizz. It makes damaged hair look healthy again.
After the process, you cannot wash for 4 days. Also, you should not use any product (particularly shampoo) with sodium Chloride, as that will eat through the coating.
However, there is now a new version that is washed out immediately. It is currently offered in NYC (see below).
You should wear a mask and close your eyes during the blowdry with the paddle brush after the product has been applied. The formula contains about 2% formaldehyde (to hold the keratin in the hair) and therefore while it is being processed with heat it will smell strong and also sometimes the first day or two after the treatment.
