I love and appreciate it when product promises and ingredients match. This is one such product. True Frog Volumizing Mousse indeed contains many ingredients that give body and volume to fine limp hair. It also contains film forming ingredients for curl protection.
Price: 585 INR. You can buy it here.
CG Friendly: Yes
Protein free: Yes
Texture: Light non-sticky foam
Fragrance: It smells like pharmaceutical cosmetics smell. It has no added fragrance.
Performance:
+ Light weight mousse, perfect for thin and fine hair or for those who like soft flowy curls
+ Can be used on day 2 and beyond hair for refreshes
– Not enough hold for my liking. I definitely need a gel.

Ok, I am seriously impressed by this ingredients list. It has many emollients and cationic surfactants making it a perfect leave in conditioner. It also has a polymer high up on the list, so may give mild hold and work as a curl cream. It also has a tiny amount of arginine, an amino acid(protein).
Price: 625 INR. You can buy it here.
CG Friendly: Yes
Protein free: Has small quantities of an amino acid
Texture: Silky soft and luscious
Fragrance: Powdery. It is allergen free fragrance.
Performance: Absolutely love this leave in conditioner. It has amazing slip and provides amazing hydration to hair. It is lightweight and doesn’t weigh down hair.

Anjana this leave-in conditioner is one of my favourites and it is light hold for me. You must try this brand’s curl cream too! It’s lightweight and has better hold.
