What type of hair styling product is designed specifically for volume creation?

Mousse is specifically designed for creating volume in hair styling. It contains lightweight ingredients that add body and fullness when applied to the roots and lengths of the hair. When mousse is aerated and foamy, it helps to lift the hair strands away from the scalp, creating a fuller appearance. It is typically used on damp hair before blow-drying, as heat helps to activate the product and enhance the volume effect.

While gel can provide hold and shape to a hairstyle, it is not primarily meant for volume. Hairspray is used mainly for finishing styles and providing hold rather than for enhancing volume from the start. Serums are typically used for smoothing and controlling frizz and do not contribute to volume creation. Thus, mousse stands out distinctly for its primary function in volumizing hair.
