Introduction

Hair fall treatment often raises one big doubt: “Agar main minoxidil shuru karun, to kya mujhe hamesha use karna padega?”

This was exactly Archit’s worry when he connected with Traya. His story is a perfect example of why consistency matters in treating hair fall and how expert guidance can clear confusion.

Archit’s Hair Fall Journey

Archit began noticing hair fall in 2021. At first, it was mild, but gradually his crown area thinned, and his scalp started becoming visible when his hair was wet.

“Do hazaar ikkis se starting hua tha… tab thoda kam tha, abhi jyada hone laga hai.”

Like many, he tried minoxidil for 3–4 months. The results were encouraging—he even saw baby hairs growing back.

But then he stopped. Within months, the hair fall came back, and thinning worsened.

This left him with the question: “Agar main minoxidil use karta hoon to kya hamesha karna hoga?”

Coach Archit’s Guidance

Traya coach explained the science clearly:

  • Hair fall is a chronic condition, especially male pattern baldness.

  • Minoxidil stimulates follicles and regrows hair, but if stopped, the new hair (which depends on minoxidil) will shed.

  • That’s why doctors recommend long-term use—not as a side effect, but as part of maintenance.

Coach reassured him:

“We will make sure ki apaki hairline aur piche nahin jaegi. And if you stay regular, you will see density and regrowth within 7–8 months.”

The Root Causes in Archit’s Case

Along with male pattern hair loss, Archit had other contributing issues:

  • Mild dandruff (seasonal, worse in winters).

  • Constipation & gas acidity → affecting digestion and nutrient absorption.

Coach suggested simple lifestyle fixes:

  • Drink warm water in mornings.

  • Go for short walks after meals.

  • If issues persist, Traya’s Digest Boost supplement would be added.

His Customized Treatment Plan

  1. Minoxidil Solution → 1 ml morning & night on visible scalp (no massage).

    • First weeks may show extra shedding (weak hair falling). This is normal.

  2. Scalp Oil + Growth Oil shot → Mix fully, use twice a week.

    • Apply 30 min before shampoo.

  3. Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole 2%) → 2–3 times a week.

  4. Supplements (after meals only):

    • Hair Vitamin → 1 tablet, after breakfast.

    • Health Tablet → 1 morning + 1 evening (after meals).

    • Hair Rush → 2 tablets after breakfast + 2 after dinner.

His Timeline with Traya

  • Month 1–3: Work on internal health, dandruff & digestion.

  • Month 4–6: Hair fall reduces significantly.

  • Month 7–8: Visible regrowth and density on crown.

  • Beyond: Maintenance with minoxidil & supplements.

Emotional Impact

Archit’s main concern was stability:

“Abhi to mera jitna hair loss ho gaya, vo ruk jae… thoda bahut regrowth mil jaye to perfect hai.”

He didn’t want false promises. What he appreciated was clear communication—that regrowth is possible, but long-term maintenance is key.

Key Takeaway: Do You Need Minoxidil Forever?

  • Yes, if you want to keep the regrown hair.

  • Stopping it means losing the support for weaker follicles.

  • With Traya’s holistic plan (Ayurveda + Nutrition + Dermatology), minoxidil works better because the root causes (like digestion, dandruff, lifestyle) are addressed too..
