10 Daily Hair Care Habits Dermatologists Swear By

Discover dermatologist-approved daily hair care habits for stronger, shinier, and healthier hair. Build your best hair routine with expert tips and product recommendations.

Here are the 10 dermatologist-approved daily habits you can start today to transform your hair—backed by science and powered by the right products.

 1. Start with a Gentle, Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Strong hair begins at the scalp. Dermatologists recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo that cleans without stripping natural oils. Over time, this prevents dryness, breakage, and frizz.

💧 Pro Tip: Look for shampoos with nourishing ingredients like argan oil or keratin.

 2. Never Skip Conditioner

Skipping conditioner is one of the biggest hair care mistakes. Conditioners restore hydration, reduce tangles, and protect hair cuticles from damage caused by heat and pollution.

💡 Dermatologist Insight: Apply conditioner mid-length to ends only, avoiding the scalp to prevent greasiness.

 Complete your wash day with  Zulfizm Hair Conditioner — your key to soft, frizz-free strands.

3. Use a Microfiber Towel or Cotton T-Shirt to Dry

Traditional towels can rough up hair cuticles, causing frizz and breakage. Dermatologists recommend gently blotting hair with a microfiber towel or soft T-shirt to minimize damage.

Pair this habit with our Silk Scrunchies  for smoother, shinier & frizz-free hair.

4. Detangle with Care

Wet hair is fragile. Always use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush on dry hair, starting from the ends and working upward. This prevents hair breakage and split ends.

 5. Protect Hair from Heat Every Time

Frequent blow-drying, curling, or straightening can lead to long-term damage. Dermatologists advise applying any heat protectant before using styling tools.

🔥 Pro Tip: Set tools to medium heat to avoid frying hair fibers.

Before your next style, apply our Hair Gloss Serum — your barrier against heat damage.

 6. Massage Your Scalp Daily

A 2-minute scalp massage increases blood flow, stimulating hair follicles for better growth and nourishment. It also helps distribute natural oils evenly.

Massage daily with Zulfizm 50+ Ingredients Hair Oil to strengthen roots and encourage healthy growth.

 7. Shield Hair from Sun and Pollution

Just like skin, hair suffers from UV exposure and environmental stress. Dermatologists recommend using a UV-protectant leave-in conditioner daily.

☀️ Bonus Tip: Cover your hair with a hat when spending time outdoors.

 8. Sleep on Silk Pillowcases

Rough cotton pillowcases can cause friction and breakage overnight. Silk pillowcases, however, reduce tangles and help retain hair moisture..

 9. Hydrate from the Inside Out

Dermatologists emphasize that hair health starts internally. Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids to maintain strong hair strands.

🥑 Add nuts, salmon, and eggs to your daily diet for nutrient support.

 10. Stay Consistent with a Routine

Consistency is everything. Stick to a simple, daily routine using quality products suited for your hair type. Over time, you’ll notice less breakage, fewer bad hair days, and long-lasting shine.
