Change your select tag to

[select my_select class:input class:styled include_blank "Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3" "Option 4"]

The first option will have "---" as text and empty value, <option value="">---</option>



If you want to replace the text "---" with "Select parameters", add the following code to functions.php

function my_wpcf7_form_elements($html) {
    $text = 'Select Option';
    $html = str_replace('---',  $text , $html);
    return $html;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_form_elements', 'my_wpcf7_form_elements');

These solutions worked exactly as I wanted. so all forms have consistency and the same default selected - you need to add "include_blank" to the field shortcode:

/**
 * Customize the default option selected on CF7
 */
 function my_wpcf7_form_elements($html) {
    $text = '—';
    $html = str_replace('---',  $text , $html);
    return $html;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_form_elements', 'my_wpcf7_form_elements');
