When “Normal” Hair Fall Stops Feeling Normal
“Itna hair fall ho raha tha… isiliye maine Traya ka package book kiya.”
That was how Asha, a schoolteacher in her early forties from Nagpur, described the moment she realised things were not okay. The shower drain was fuller than usual, her comb had more strands than she wanted to admit, and every hair wash felt like a small loss.
She wasn’t someone who fussed over her hair. But weeks of “it’ll stop on its own” had turned into months. Finally, she filled out Traya’s online hair test, uploaded her scalp photos, and waited to see if someone would actually join the dots for her.
Understanding Her Hair and Health Story
When hair coach Shubham called, he had already studied her form and scalp images. But he didn’t open with products; he opened with her health.
He gently checked for any medical conditions. Asha admitted, “Diabetes hai… bahut purana. Hypertension thoda sa.” She was on regular medication for both.
Instead of brushing this aside, he made it clear that her health and hair were linked. He reassured her that Traya’s supplements were safe with her diabetes and blood pressure medicines, but asked her to maintain a five‑to‑ten‑minute gap between them so everything absorbed properly.
From her hair test, Traya’s doctors had identified three key contributors to her hair fall: metabolism, nutrition, and hormonal changes. There was no dandruff, and her scalp felt “combination type” rather than very oily or very dry. She washed her hair twice a week, which was actually perfect for the plan they had in mind.
This was the first time someone had told her that her shedding wasn’t “just age” or “just stress,” but a mix of how her body was processing nutrients, long‑term conditions like diabetes, and subtle hormonal shifts.
The Root Cause, Explained Simply
On the call, Shubham broke it down in a way that made sense to her. Poor metabolism and nutrition meant that whatever she ate wasn’t efficiently converted into the energy and building blocks needed to support hair growth. Add long‑standing diabetes and mild hormonal imbalance, and the follicles on her scalp were simply not getting the steady, rich blood supply they needed to stay strong.
Instead of only treating the scalp, Traya’s plan focused on internal nourishment as well as external care: oral supplements for metabolism and hormones, plus topical products to support the follicles directly.
This is the digestion and hair fall connection most people overlook - when the body is busy managing blood sugar and chronic inflammation, hair often falls to the bottom of its priority list.
Can long‑term health issues like diabetes worsen hair fall?
Yes. Chronic conditions such as diabetes can affect blood circulation and how well nutrients are absorbed and delivered to hair follicles. When this combines with slow metabolism and mild hormonal changes, follicles become undernourished, leading to weaker strands, slower regrowth, and more noticeable shedding. Supporting internal health and scalp health together is what gradually turns this around.
Her Doubts, Asked Out Loud
Once she understood the routine, Asha’s questions became more specific and vulnerable.
The first fear was about shedding. Shubham anticipated it and explained that when she started the minoxidil serum, it was normal to notice a temporary increase in hair fall in the first few weeks. “Ye actually achchhi aur progressive sign hai,” he said. The weaker, already dying hairs would shed faster so stronger ones could come in.
He framed it as a clean‑up phase rather than a setback, which helped her stay calm.
Her second big doubt was about age: “Koi age bhi hota hai kya, ki is age ke baad affect kam ho jaega ya nahin hoga?” She was worried she might simply be “too old” for regrowth.
His answer was firm but comforting. No, there was no strict age cutoff. What mattered more was consistency and following a plan that respected her health conditions.
By the end of the call she said, “Sab kuch samajh mein aa gaya. Kuch hoga confusion to main call book karungi.” That shift from silent worry to open questions is exactly where most Traya journeys truly begin.
The Plan: Step‑by‑Step, Not Overwhelming
Asha’s kit was built to work on both the inside and outside at the same time.
For internal support, she had two oral supplements: a vitamin tablet and Her Santulan. Her Santulan is an Ayurvedic formulation with Shatavari, Lodhra, Ashok, Brahmi, Arjuna and Guduchi, designed for women over 30 who are dealing with hormonal shifts, mood swings, and subtle changes in stamina and sleep. It supports female reproductive health, bone and cardiac health, and acts as a nervine tonic, which, over months, helps steady the hormonal side of hair fall.
Taken after meals, these supplements were there to correct nutritional gaps, support metabolism, and keep her body from diverting all its resources away from non‑essential functions like hair.
On the scalp side, her routine was simple but precise. Twice a week, she was to oil her scalp with Traya’s Scalp Oil mixed with the Growth Therapy booster at least half an hour before her bath. The Scalp Oil, prepared in the traditional sneha pak process with coconut oil, amla, bhringraj, brahmi, goat milk and other herbs, is meant to nourish follicles, cool the scalp, and improve blood circulation. The Growth Therapy booster adds camphor, wheat germ and essential oils for extra support to regrowth and scalp health.
She would then wash her hair with the sulphate‑ and paraben‑free Defence Shampoo and follow with Defence Conditioner only on the lengths. This combination kept her scalp clean enough for actives to penetrate, without stripping it dry - important in someone already managing chronic illness.
The most critical piece was her daily minoxidil serum. She would apply 1 ml in the morning and 1 ml at night only on the areas where the scalp was clearly visible. No rubbing, just placing and lightly spreading. This is what directly tackled follicle miniaturisation and improved blood flow at the roots.
Together, this created a truly personalized hair treatment plan that worked around her diabetes and blood pressure, instead of ignoring them.
The Emotional Shift: From Panic to Patience
In the beginning, the idea of her hair fall getting worse before it got better was scary. But having a coach explain the science behind it, and knowing what to expect in month three versus month four, gave her something she hadn’t had in a long time: a timeline.
Shubham explained that by the third month, she should start to see a clear reduction in hair fall. From the fourth month, she could expect baby hair along the parting and hairline, and gradually better volume and density. He also shared that most people who did well with Traya had one thing in common: regularity.
To help her stay on track, he walked her through the Traya app. She liked that she could log each product as “done,” earn coins towards discounts on next month’s kit, and book a callback whenever she felt stuck. They even scheduled a follow‑up call fifteen days later at her preferred time, just to check in.
For someone living with long‑term conditions, that kind of ongoing support matters as much as the medicines themselves. It reassured her that if there were any bumps - a spike in shedding, a busy week, a missed dose - she wouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
The Gradual Transformation
Hair regrowth is never an overnight story. But by knowing that third month meant visible reduction in shedding, and fourth month meant baby hair, Asha could mark her progress against something real, not wishful thinking.
As the weeks passed, she became more comfortable with her routine: supplements with breakfast and dinner, minoxidil morning and night, oiling and hair wash on fixed days. The initial shedding didn’t scare her anymore because she knew why it was happening.
In a way, her hair journey mirrored what happens in iron deficiency hair fall recovery or hair fall due to anemia: the body first clears what is weak, then slowly rebuilds from within as circulation, hormones, and nutrient delivery improve.
For Asha, the biggest win wasn’t just the new baby hairs. It was looking at the comb after a wash and not feeling that familiar drop in her stomach. Knowing she had a plan, a coach, and a system that took her diabetes and hormones seriously gave her back a sense of control she thought she’d lost with her hair.
