Lightweight leave in conditioner for fine wavy hair?

Hi! So I started the curly girl method recently and I’m struggling to find a good leave in conditioner. I have fine type 2c wavy hair that gets weighed down easily by products. I tried Shea moisture leave in but it was way too heavy for my hair, so right now the only styling product I use is gel, but I have a lot of frizz/poofiness. Any suggestions for a good lightweight leave in conditioner? (Also preferably an affordable one, I’m a student on a budget) Thanks!

    What's your rinse-out conditioner? You could try using that.  I use Kinky Curly Knot Today and it's pretty light. It's $11 at Target.  
    Probably 3A. Fine. Normal Porosity. Medium or High Density
    Current Products I Use:
    Suave Essentials Tropical Coconut Conditioner
    GVP Conditioning Balm
    Cantu Curl Activating Cream
    Kinky Curly Curling Custard
    LA Looks Nutra Curl Gel

    I am not a fan of Shea Moisture stylers. I like the Kinky Curly Knot Today alot too. It's my holy grail. I also love the As I Am Leave In Conditioner. It is a few bucks cheaper than KCKT, but if your hair tangles easily get the KCKT definitely. You can find both at Target's to compare.

    If you can find it, Giovanni Direct Leave In is really good too, and not expensive.  Or you can use a regular but light conditioner - Suave Essentials or VO5.

    Mielle White Peony. That stuff in the bottle is almost water like but very moisturizing
