Do I need creams ?

So my hair is thin and fine and whatever I use my curls get weighed down. My hair is also soft even when I don’t add a leave in or curl cream with that being said do I need to use creams ? Or should I stick to foams/mousse and gel only (I condition in the shower btw)

Also, should I go for a mousse or a foam as I want a lot of hold but at the same time I don’t know if a mousse is too heavy so I should just use a foam only
