Aditi’s Hair Fall Plan: From Confusion to Consistency

Traya Journey at a Glance

  • What she faced: Severe hair fall for over 6 months, with dandruff that returned quickly if hair wash frequency dropped.
  • What seemed to be driving it: A scalp environment that kept tipping back into dandruff and irritation, along with the need for consistent internal + external support through a personalized hair treatment plan.
  • What she used: Recap Serum at night, Hair Vitamin after breakfast, Calm Ras after dinner, Nourish Oil twice a week, plus a Traya Anti-dandruff Shampoo recommendation based on her scalp image.
  • Timeline she was guided on: Months 1–2 for internal health support, months 3–4 to control hair fall, and visible changes expected by month 5.
  • Outcome in the moment: A clear, doable routine and reassurance that early shedding can be normal - plus a dandruff-targeted adjustment after a scalp check.

The day Aditi’s Traya kit arrived, she didn’t sound dramatic. She sounded relieved - and slightly overwhelmed.

“Today I got the order… okay,” she told the coach, and then asked the question that most people ask when they finally decide to take hair fall seriously: “How do I use it? Which product, when?”

Because when hair fall has been “bahut bahut” - a lot - for months, you don’t want more advice. You want a plan you can actually follow.

When “everyday hair fall” stopped feeling normal

Aditi, a working professional from a mid-sized Indian city, had been dealing with hair fall for a long time. But the last six months were different. The shedding wasn’t occasional anymore. It was more than she could brush off as seasonal.

She had seen a doctor once, a couple of years ago, and had been given a serum and a tablet at night - but nothing that felt structured enough to stick with. Recently, she hadn’t consulted anyone again. No ongoing medicines. No major medical history. Just the daily reality of losing hair.

And then there was her scalp.

The pattern she noticed with dandruff

When the coach asked about dandruff, Aditi explained it in a very specific way. She said dandruff didn’t show up the same every day - but it had a rhythm. She had to shampoo twice a week. If she missed it, dandruff would appear quickly.

And she connected the dots herself: when her hair fall got worse, “dandruff also started happening more.”

That matters, because dandruff and dry scalp hair loss often travel together in real life. Not because dandruff magically “creates” hair loss overnight, but because itching, inflammation, and a constantly irritated scalp can make hair fall feel more intense - and harder to control.

What the scalp check changed

Instead of guessing, the coach did something simple and powerful: he asked her to upload a scalp image on WhatsApp so the doctor could check her progress and guide the treatment.

When he reviewed it, he reassured her first: her scalp condition looked “achchhi” - good. But he also caught what needed attention: “Thoda bahut dandruff mujhe dikh raha hai.”

That’s when the plan became more tailored. He recommended adding Traya’s Anti-dandruff Shampoo, and asked her to order it.

In Traya’s medicated anti-dandruff shampoo, the key ingredient is Ketoconazole IP 2%, which is designed to reduce dandruff and prevent further fungal growth while also helping calm scalp inflammation.

A quick Q&A Aditi would relate to

    Does dandruff cause hair fall?

Dandruff can trigger itching and scalp irritation, and constant scratching can worsen breakage and shedding. When the scalp environment becomes calmer and cleaner, it becomes easier for hair to grow healthily again.

Her biggest doubts were practical, not dramatic

Aditi didn’t ask for miracles. She asked for clarity.

She checked if she had to apply the serum daily: “One month… everyday?” The coach confirmed: yes, on a regular basis.

She checked whether her current shampoo could continue (she was using Mamaearth Onion shampoo). The coach’s answer was simple: if it’s paraben- and sulphate-free, it’s fine.

And like most people who are watching their hair thin week after week, she asked the question that carries a quiet fear: how long do I need to do this?

The timeline that made it feel doable

The coach didn’t promise overnight regrowth. He gave her a roadmap.

He explained that the journey is usually set like this: in months 1–2 they work on internal health; months 3–4 focus on controlling hair fall; and by month 5, visible changes are expected.

He also said something important that many first-timers need to hear: in the initial weeks, increased hair fall can happen, and it can be normal. The weaker strands shed first, and then the shedding gradually reduces with consistency.

The routine Aditi was asked to follow

Once her kit was reviewed, the coach broke it down into a simple schedule - small enough to fit into a real day.

She was guided to use:

    Nourish Oil (twice a week): Apply on the scalp two times a week, and wash after about 30 minutes. (This oil is positioned as a hair-care product that helps with shine, frizz control, and breakage reduction, not as a direct regrowth claim.)
    Recap Serum (nightly): 1 ml at night across the scalp using the dropper, spread lightly with fingertips - no heavy massage. If it drips onto the face, wash it off.

Recap Serum contains the hair actives Redensyl, Capixyl, and Procapil, and is positioned to support follicle health and control hair fall in early stages.

    Hair Vitamin (morning): One tablet after breakfast to support hair health in cases where nutrition may be falling short. It’s formulated with vitamins and minerals and also includes natural DHT blockers like pumpkin seed extract, along with ingredients like bhringraj.
    Calm Ras (night): Two tablets after dinner. Calm Ras is positioned for people dealing with stress, anxiety, mental fatigue, and sleep issues - because disturbed sleep and stress can worsen hair fall by interfering with the body’s repair cycle.

Together, this becomes a daily rhythm - exactly what Aditi seemed to need more than anything.

Why this felt different to her

What changed wasn’t just the products. It was the feeling of being monitored, not left alone.

The coach told her she could book a call again, and they’d check in after 10–12 days in case she had doubts. He also nudged her to use the in-app dietitian feature - logging meals to see deficiencies - because sometimes the digestion and hair fall connection shows up in what the body isn’t absorbing well, even when someone feels they’re “eating fine.”

And importantly, he kept repeating the one thing that turns plans into results: don’t break consistency.

Resolution: a plan, a scalp check, and a calmer start

By the end of the call, Aditi didn’t sound confused anymore. She had her answers, her schedule, and a clear expectation of time.

She also had a small but crucial customization - adding an anti-dandruff solution - based on what her scalp image actually showed. That’s how a routine becomes personal. And that’s when a long, frustrating stretch of hair fall starts to feel like something you can finally steer.
