If you’ve just bought an anti-dandruff shampoo, you might be wondering: how long will it take to work? Many people feel uncertain after the first wash, unsure whether to continue using the product or switch to something else. The good news is, understanding the right way to use your shampoo and the type of scalp you have can make a big difference.
Here’s a simple guide to help you get the best results from your Bees Brilliance PropoRelief Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner.
Step 1 – Focus on Your Scalp, Not Just Your Hair
Many people use anti-dandruff shampoo like regular shampoo, focusing on the hair rather than the scalp. However, dandruff originates on the scalp, so that’s where your attention should be.
Tips:
- Massage the shampoo gently into the scalp, especially in areas prone to flakes.
- Allow the product to sit for 2–3 minutes to let the active ingredients work.
Remember, the goal is to restore balance to the scalp, not just clean your hair strands.
Step 2 – Give It Two Weeks Before Judging
A common misconception is that dandruff should disappear after just one wash. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that quickly. The active ingredients in your PropoRelief Scalp Shampoo need time to reduce excess oil, rebalance microbes, and soothe irritation.
Tip: Use your shampoo consistently for at least 2–4 weeks before evaluating results.
Step 3 – Know the Difference Between Dry Scalp and Dandruff
It’s easy to confuse dry scalp with dandruff, but they are different and require different treatments.

Pro Tip:
- For dry scalp, use a hydrating shampoo to maintain moisture.
- For dandruff, PropoRelief Scalp Shampoo helps rebalance scalp microbes and restore health.
- If you mistakenly use an anti-dandruff shampoo on a dry scalp, you may not see results after two weeks.
Step 4 – Be Patient
Scalp care takes time. Most people notice significant improvements within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Regular use ensures long-term scalp health and reduces recurrence of flakes.
Anti-Dandruff Shampoo FAQs
1. Can I use anti-dandruff shampoo every day?
It depends on your scalp type.
- Oily scalp or severe dandruff: Daily use may be beneficial.
- Dry or sensitive scalp: 2–3 times a week is recommended.
2. Should I apply shampoo to the length of my hair?
Focus on the scalp. Let the lather rinse down the hair to cleanse without stripping moisture. Use a moisturising shampoo on the lengths if needed.
3. Why is my dandruff getting worse?
our scalp may be adjusting to treatment. Check for harsh ingredients like SLS/SLES sulphates or parabens. If dandruff persists after 4 weeks, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
