Your hair should be dry when you apply clobetasol propionate shampoo to your scalp.

Step 1: To apply clobetasol propionate shampoo to your scalp, part your hair at the area where it is to be applied.
Step 2: Hold the bottle of clobetasol propionate shampoo over the affected area. Gently squeeze the bottle and apply a small amount of shampoo to the affected area.
