creamy leave in. The brand I use is Silicon Mix or Chocolacio
Naturals: Do you use a liquid or a cream leave-in?

I use a creamy conditioner. Usually I use Cantu Shea with the kimmay recipe or Suave Almond & Shea butter conditioner. If I'm in a rush or don't have a leave in I will use any creamy leave in conditioner. I want to try a lighter conditioner the next time I straighten my hair to see if I will get more body.
I've used both -- it depends on how my hair has been feeling, what I plan to do with it, etc.
My current creamy leave in of choice is Skala Ceramides G3. It has great slip, and is thin enough to apply just a little and not have it dry too heavy on your hair.
The only liquid leave in I've ever truly been in love with (whether I'm planning to wear my hair natural or straighten) is Ojon Revitalizing Mist. I LOVE this stuff. Something I always end up repurchasing.
Actually right now I'm going through a couple weeks of no leave-in. I do this when my hair has been feeling over-conditioned (like if I've been doing too much con washing, or with the wrong cons). So I just rinse my hair in the shower and then apply jojoba oil to my damp hair. Coconut oil also works well for this.

Really? Didn't think of gel being a leave-in, is it for wash and go-s and if so is this the only product you use on wet hair?

Depends on my hairstyle. If I'm wearing twists / braids, then I'll use a creamy leave-in. If my hair is in a bun, I'll use my own liquid leave-in mixture.

The world of curls brand that I use is not a traditional hard stiff gel, it is meant to be used as a moisturizer as most curl activators are also since they glycerin based. I use it to moisturize all my styles on wet and dry hair.

My hair responds really well to a liquid leave in. I usually use a creamy leave in straight after a liquid one. My hair doesn't respond crazily well to creamy leave-in's so I use them in conjunction.

Doesn't matter what conditioner I use as a leave in, my hair ends up stiff, dry...e.g. this past Monday, washed and DC'd with AO GPB and used Darcy's leave in....
My hair wasn't feeling it...my curls were defined and looked awesome, but my hair was dry, stiff...
Is there no such thing as defined curls with softness? Ugh!
Bumping for more suggestions so I can make a list...

Arian Honey, i believe the GPB is a protein conditioner (just conditioned with this yesterday, love it). Try DCing w/ a moisturizing one, this could help with the dry hair

Even with a moisturizing one, a leave in makes my hair hard and crunchy...
