Products and techniques that you do not need in order to wear your naturally curly hair. These are non-essentials for beginners or items that have cheaper alternatives. Many of these products I use and love, but they are a "nice to have" and something you can incorporate as your budget allows or as you get more familiar with your natural curls.
