My crunch won't scrunch

None of my current styling gels dries without crunch. I've tried using Texture Dirt underneath it so it might not be so crunchy. That just seems to pull out my waves.
When I scrunch it out, I lose even more wave. Argh!
I'm assuming I'm going to need a curl cream instead? Any suggestions for drug/chain store products in the $5 US range?

Towel: Fake chamois from the auto dept. Gets out so much water that my hair is starting to spiral instead of water weight pulling them all out into waves.

I'm new to this side of my hair. I didn't know it could be wavy on it's own, so I'm clueless about products for natural wave/curl. It's that section of the hair aisle that I just wistfully looked and thought "sigh, if only..." LOL

I'm going to check out Big Lots too, to see if they have anything that might be discontinued.
I hate being so limited in my price range. Maybe someday I'll be able to plunk down $20 for an 8 ounce bottle of something that might not work and think nothing of it, but not currently.

I still have some Texture Dirt in my hair from yesterday so my waves are kind of blah right now. When I just use gel I start to get some spirals here and there, but they eventually fall out.

Wavy in NeeNah... be sure to keep your receipts for ANYTHING that you buy at Sally's and Ulta. They will take back products if you do not like them, even if they are used...and will give full price back. I hang on to my receipts for those $20 products that do nothing for my hair!!
CK is the one!!
as of 6/17/10 - I have to add Joico!

We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names and each is a different color. But they all have to learn how to live in the same box. ~Anonymous

People also offer samples or if there's something you really want to try to can request to purchase a sample from someone and usually someone will offer it up.
Another thing to remember is that a lot of times you can get away with not using as much of the $20 product as you think you would. I was very hesitant on buying SheaM, but I hardly use any of it. At the rate I'm going I'll still have some left in 6 months. Same with Innersense QCCC.
