If you ask anyone with curly hair, they'll tell you from personal experience that most hair products out there that promise high-quality results are pricey. Many people are willing to spend a pretty penny or two on the brands they love, but sometimes, it's nice to have a few drugstore buys in the mix.

In fact, expensive haircare products don't always yield better results. "You don't necessarily need to spend a lot of money to get healthy curls," says celebrity hairstylist and Pura D'Or partner Clyde Haygood. "The key is finding products that are right for your hair type and texture, whether they are from high-end or drugstore brands."

Additionally, many drugstore products have been around for decades and have plenty of science behind them. "Many drugstore brands now offer powerful, curl-friendly formulas packed with high-performing ingredients," says Stephanie Hinkle, textured-hair stylist and Keranique brand partner. She adds that overlooking these options means potentially missing out on solutions created to benefit curls at an affordable price point.
