I'm on this journey as well. After a lifetime of short pixie cuts and chin length bobs that I blew out and flat ironed, I've discovered my hair is quite wavy/curly. I'm still exploring which products works best. I have low porosity hair for sure so finding products that moisturize and control without build up has been the biggest challenge. So far for inexpensive grocery store lines, I've had the best luck with Not Your Mothers line...the gel and curl cream in particular. I just purchased two products from Curlsmith that are okay (a leave in conditioner and a curl creme balm) but I think too weighty for my hair so I may return them to Ulta.
ETA: Many of the higher end product lines have quizzes to help you determine your hair type and recommend products. Curlsmith has such a quiz. That may be a good starting point.
