They are all styling products, but they serve different purposes.

Hairspray, in my opinion, is only good to set your hair.

Mousse is usually used to add volume to your hair, it's easy to run through your hair. It can help hold curls too. It can have a strong or a light hold, always check the bottle.

Gel is used to hold a hairstyle securely, to smooth your hair, add some thickness.

No matter what product you use make sure it's made for your hair type, and that you don't use too much.

 
Gel and mousse is to use while your hair is still wet to style.  Their consistency pretty much says it all.  Gel is thick and goopy and used for to slick your hair like glue or get it to do things that your hair generally may not do naturally.  Mousse was intended for a lighter hold...airy and light and keep your natural hair...especially good for curly hair so it doesn't weight it down like gel will.  Hairspray is usually meant to keep it all together once you are done styling your hair. 

 
Thanks for the tips. I hardly ever use hair products either and I never know what to use when I need a little extra volume or to hold curls.
