A pre styler is exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a product you apply to the hair before getting into the real nitty gritty of styling, almost like the foundations of the hairstyle. It takes the hairs natural form and starts to form the shape of the desired styled.
No matter the hair type, there’s a pre styler out there for everyone! For those with thinning/fine hair, a pre styler enables you to give the hair more volume and appear thicker and fuller. For those with curly hair, wanting to make the hair straighter is quite common or using a pre styler to rid the hair of knots and nourish the hair.
For a lot of men out there though, pre stylers are mainly used to add texture and volume to hair before finishing off their style. One of the most popular forms of pre styler nowadays is Sea Salt Spray, a favourite of ours is from Osmo!
What does Sea Salt Spray do?
Sea Salt Spray is used to give that Californian style, messy beach look and it’s so easy to achieve that look! Although best used on dry hair, to get maximum volume it’s recommended spraying sparingly on damp hair and blow drying as normal. The lightweight formula of Sea Salt Spray means extra volume with natural movement, allowing you to finish the look with your favoured styling product.
Another popular form of pre styler, especially for those with fuzzy/wiry hair is a Grooming Cream. One of our most popular Grooming Cream is this one from American Crew.
Is a Grooming Cream right for me?
If you’re looking for a product with a excellent hold that also softens the hair, then a Grooming Cream could be the best bet. American Crew’s Grooming Cream is perfect for those looking for a product to suit formal, yet workable hairstyles. It repels moisture to keep the style in place with a high shine, and the aloe vera works as a conditioning element to keep coarse hair a little bit more relaxed. It’s best used by warming a small amount up in the palms and working into dry/damp hair.
