It sounds like a weakened form of elongation system sold by Design Essentials. A few members have tried the DE system. I'm having a hard time finding a non-sponsored review of the Beautiful Textures System.
I've tested this system on a section of hair and it works well. This is a cheaper at home version of DE. I did full formaldehyde treatments for years then transitioned to these amino acid treatments back in Sept 2011 and I couldn't be happier.
These amino acid / cysteine treatments are far from new. The cysteine treatments are the "new generation" keratin/BKT treatments. They don't produce dramatic results like the formaldehyde treatments but they are healthier and you only use 1 - 2 passes of heat at 340 - 400 degrees as opposed to 450 degrees with 7-10 passes. These systems are only "new" in the sense they are now being marketed to Black women for at home use.
In Sept 2014 it will be three years since I've used the treatments. I've used QOD max Organiq, DE Transitioning Mousee and this system and I've never had any issues.

I was going to start a thread on this after I saw Ms.Vaughn on YT do a full seven day review on it.her hair did look nice but I found the product to be a bit vague and im curious how long term use of it may affect the hair. For me, I am not interested in trying it but I do look forward to seeing some reviews and feedback from our members here on the board.
