It is, of course, exactly what it says. A product you use before styling your Hair with your regular styling product. That is why the styling product you normally use is often called a post-styler.

How to use a pre-styler?
For the General, most Pre-Stylers work the same. The grooming and Sea Salt Sprays are best used in damp or towel-dried Hair. Distribute it well and then start blow-drying. While blow-drying, already bring your Hair in the direction you ultimately want it until it is completely dry. This also applies to other Pre-Stylers such as Hair Cream and Hair Paste that you want to use as a pre-styler.
For the Styling powders, it's a bit different. You use these after you have dried your Hair. Sprinkle the powder into your Hair and distribute it well. Make sure with your fingers that the powder reaches the roots of your Hair. Once well distributed, you can apply your post-Styling.
