Pre-Stylers

Why use a pre-styler as a man?

There are several reasons to use a pre-styler. Most hair styling products are made for a specific purpose, and that is why a good hairstyle often needs multiple products to achieve the desired effect.

A pre-styler can, for example, help to make thin hair appear thicker and fuller so that your hairstyle has more volume, even with fine hair. A pre-styler can also protect your hair against the heat of a hairdryer or other heat-stylers. And pre-styling also helps to keep your hair in shape for longer or to make it easier to style your hair with a post-styler.

Different types of pre-stylers for men hair

Broadly speaking, there are four types of pre-stylers for men, each with its own unique properties. A small remark here is that some post-stylers can also be used as pre-stylers. A hair clay or hair wax can also be used for blow-drying, but I will leave that aside for now.

Pre-styling spray

A pre-styling spray is especially good when you want to blow-dry your hair for more volume. A pre-styling spray protects your hair against the heat and makes it easier to style your hair afterwards with a post-styler. It is a kind of primer for your hair. It is also known as a heat protectant spray because of these properties.

Sea salt spray

A sea salt spray or salt spray is also applied before blow-drying if you would like more volume and texture. Your hair will appear thicker and fuller, which is ideal for men with thin or fine hair. You can also use these on their own if you like a loose and messy beach look.

Volume powder

A volume powder gives a lot of lift and makes your hair thicker. Unlike the first two pre-stylers, you apply a volume powder to dry hair. It also gives a lot of texture and can slightly fill in small bald spots. Never blow-dry your hair after applying a volume powder. This category is also called hair powder or styling powder.

Hair mousse

A hair mousse is a kind of foam that you apply to get more volume and body in your hair. You apply it to slightly damp hair before blow-drying. It swells in your hair so that your hair gets more body and feels firmer. It also helps with dry or frizzy hair.

Best pre-styler for men

As you can see, there is plenty of choice and it depends on your hair type what works best and what kind of men's hairstyle you want to achieve. But if we quickly look at the most popular options in the Moquer shop, then you could have a look at the By Vilain Sidekick Pre-Styler Spray if you are looking for a heat protection spray.

The Blumaan Texturizing Sea Salt Spray is a relatively new product that is quickly climbing to one of the most popular sea salt sprays in the shop. In terms of volume powder, the Slick Gorilla Hair Styling Powder has been the go-to product for men with thinner or fine hair for years.

And a good hair mousse is the Pacinos Curl Mousse. A mousse is one of the best pre-styler options for men with very wavy or curly hair.
