One of the biggest perks of the Curly Girl Method is it’s very possible to have fabulous, healthy curls without breaking the bank!

This post is a round up of twenty-five curly girl approved products you can find at your drugstore!

Side note: This page does contain affiliate links, which means if you purchase something using the product links on this page, I may get a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you and helps keep this site running. Thank you!

Also, I follow the simplified version of the Curly Girl Method most directly derived from the Curly Girl Handbook. This means the only ingredients I look to avoid are sulfates, silicones, and drying alcohols. If you have more ingredients that you look to avoid, it would be a good idea to check the ingredients for yourself before making a purchase.

Sulfate-Free Shampoos

Conditioners

Deep Conditioners

Creams and Leave-ins

Gels
