When Dean picked up the call from his Traya hair coach, he wasn’t expecting a detailed breakdown of why his hair fall started or what might be happening beneath the surface. For him, this was a sudden concern — because he had only noticed hair fall “about one month ago or two months ago.”

But what seemed like a small, recent problem actually had a deeper root cause.

This is Dean’s story.

The Beginning: A Sudden Hair Fall That Didn’t Make Sense

For most people, hair fall develops gradually. But Dean told the coach:

“I started noticing hair fall about one to two months ago.”

This sudden onset made him confused and worried, especially because:

  • He never had dandruff
  • He had no digestive issues
  • His crown area looked normal
  • Only a slight receding hairline and some falling strands were visible

Then he said something that changed everything:

“I suspect this hair fall… because last August I had taken Isotretinoin help for acne.”

That one line revealed the missing piece.

The Root Cause: A Delayed Side Effect of Isotretinoin

Isotretinoin (commonly known as Accutane) is extremely effective for acne — but it can disrupt hair biology months after you stop using it.

Dean had taken that last year, and since then:

  • His hair cycle may have shifted
  • Follicles became more sensitive
  • Early miniaturisation began
  • His hairline became slightly weak

This matched his experience of recent fall + early hairline recession.

Hair coach Nancy explained that hair fall behaves like a chronic condition:

“Sometimes it increases and sometimes it decreases, but if we maintain it, it will come under control.”

It reassured Dean that his situation was fixable — especially because he was still in early-stage hair fall, not advanced thinning.

Dean’s Doubts Show the Emotional Side of Early Hair Fall

Even though his condition was mild, Dean had many questions — showing how anxious sudden hair fall can feel:

1. Taking cold help

He was sick with influenza and asked:

“Will there be any conflict if I take hair help along with cold help?”

2. Using hair creams and gels

Styling mattered to him:

“After applying product, can I apply hair creams or gels?”

3. Confusion about scalp oil usage

He thought oiling was supposed to be done at night:

“I thought I have to apply the oil before going to bed.”

These doubts reflect how even a small phase of hair fall can create fear — especially when someone is trying to balance work, grooming, and health.

How Hair Fall Was Affecting His Lifestyle

Even before he said it directly, his concerns revealed:

  • He wanted to maintain his style (workplace appearance mattered)
  • He feared worsening recession
  • He didn’t want to make mistakes in the routine
  • He wanted improvement — any improvement — to reassure himself

He said softly:

“Any improvement would be fine.” and “I’m experiencing a little bit of receding hairline right now.”

For someone who just started noticing hair fall, even small changes can feel alarming. This is exactly why early intervention matters.

How the Hair Coach Brought Clarity, Structure & Calm

Nancy patiently broke down the entire customised plan — focusing on his early-stage condition.

1. Addressing Interaction With Cold Products

She reassured:

  • It’s safe
  • Just keep a 5-minute gap between cold meds & Traya supplements

This immediately reduced his worry.

2. Styling Without Damaging Hair

She suggested:

  • Avoiding gels/creams during the first months
  • Using 2–3 drops of scalp oil on hair lengths only
  • No application on roots

This helped him maintain his look without risking follicle blockage.

3. Understanding Hairline Reality

Nancy clarified:

  • Regrowth on the hairline is possible but harder
  • 30% of customers still see hairline regrowth
  • What Traya ensures is stopping recession
  • Reverse and recovery are more predictable on the scalp than hairline

Dean finally had realistic expectations — not false promises.

The Simple, Clear Timeline That Gave Him Confidence

Nancy shared his personalised timeline (5–8 months):

Months 1–3

  • Internal correction
  • Scalp health improvement
  • Stabilising hair fall

Months 4–6

  • Visible reduction in fall
  • Hairline maintained
  • Overall texture improvement

Months 7–8

  • New baby hair on scalp
  • Better thickness and density
  • Healthy, fuller appearance

For someone who said “any improvement would be fine,” this timeline gave him direction and hope.

The Products That Fit Dean’s Needs Perfectly

Based on his kit and the Product Bible, here are the key products and why they suit his condition:

1. Solution

  • Stabilises early hair fall
  • Prevents hairline progression
  • Supports faster regrowth on scalp

2. Scalp Oil + Growth Shot

  • Enhances circulation
  • Keeps hair ends moisturised without gels
  • Prevents dryness

3. Anti-Hairfall Shampoo

  • Maintains scalp hygiene
  • Removes buildup from styling
  • Ensures better penetration of solution

4. Hair Vitamins + Hair Ras
