“Do Teen Saal Se Hair Fall Hai”: Imran’s 8-Month Traya Journey to Regrow Thicker Hair

When Imran (32, Gurugram) downloaded the Traya app, he wasn’t looking for a miracle. He just wanted clarity. As he put it on a coaching call, he had been dealing with hair fall for “do teen saal se” and was tired of trying different things without really understanding what was going wrong.

Imran’s Story: Slow Thinning, Mild Dandruff, No Clear Answers

Imran’s hair fall hadn’t started overnight. For the last 2–3 years, he’d been noticing more hair in the shower and on the pillow. The front and crown looked thinner, and the scalp had begun to show through in some spots. Along with that, he had “mild dandruff” that made his scalp feel a little itchy and flaky.

Before Traya, he had already tried treatment:

“Mam, homeopathic dava le rahe the, kam nahin ho raha hai, bahut slow kam kar raha hai.”

For 2–3 months he took homeopathic medicines for hair fall, but the improvement was minimal and too slow. He was also taking separate medicines “hormone ke lie” for a different health issue. On top of that, he had started one more hair treatment, which he was now “chhod chhod they raha hun” because he wasn’t sure what was helping and what was overlapping.

What he really wanted from Traya was very simple and very honest:

“Mam rakha hun bal do bar arthik ho jae.”

He wasn’t just chasing less hair fall; he wanted his hair to look fuller again.

What Was Really Going On? The Root Causes Behind His Hair Fall

On the call, the Traya hair coach, Shivani, patiently went deeper instead of just listing products. She looked at three key things:

1. Duration and pattern of hair fall

– Hair fall for 2–3 years, visible thinning and scalp showing in some areas. – This points towards pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), where hair follicles slowly shrink over time under the influence of DHT (a testosterone-derived hormone).

1. Scalp condition

– Imran had reported “mild dandruff” in his Traya test. – Even mild dandruff means there’s low–grade scalp inflammation and flakiness. Constant itching or buildup can weaken the follicle environment and accelerate shedding.

1. Overall health & medication history

– He mentioned ongoing “hormone le raha hun main” for a health issue. – While those medicines were to be continued (as advised by his doctor), the hair coach ensured there would be no interference with the Traya plan. – At the same time, he was asked to stop other hair-related supplements so treatment did not become random and overlapping.

Imran’s hair loss was not from a single cause. It was a combination of:

• Long-standing male pattern hair loss (follicle miniaturisation, DHT impact).
• Mild dandruff–linked inflammation, which makes roots more fragile.
• Confusing, overlapping treatments with no single, consistent plan.

Q&A: Does mild dandruff really affect hair fall?

Yes. Even when flaking is “mild”, dandruff reflects an imbalance of scalp microbiome and low-grade inflammation. This can irritate hair follicles, increase scratching, and lead to more breakage and shedding. That’s why controlling dandruff is essential to prevent long-term dandruff and dry scalp hair loss, especially if you already have pattern baldness.

Imran’s Doubts: Minoxidil, Dosage Confusion, and Safety With Other Medicines

Once his Traya kit reached him, Imran opened the app and got confused. He saw a “khane ka tarika” (how to take) section and wanted someone to walk him through everything:

“Mam, main Traya medicine kit liya hai… app mein jo dikha raha hai ek khane ka tarika vo pucha.”

His main doubts were very real and very common:

1. How exactly to use minoxidil 5%?

- How many ml? How often? - Should he wash it off? - What if it dripped on his forehead or face? - What if hair fall increased after starting?

Shivani explained clearly:

- Use the dropper, apply 1 ml in the morning and 1 ml at night only on visible thinning areas.
- “Massage nahin kariega, bas gently spread kar dijiega.”
- Do not wash off immediately; if applied at night, leave it overnight; if applied in the morning, leave it through the day.
- If it accidentally drips on the face or forehead, just wash that area with water.
- Initial shedding is normal:
> “Starting ke kuchh weeks apako hair fall dekhane ko milega… ismein jo apake weak hair rahenge na sirf vahi fall honge, aur ye time ke sath gradually reduce bhi ho jaega.”

Understanding this “shedding phase” was key for his confidence. Without this explanation, many people stop minoxidil right when it’s actually starting to work.

1. Why does the pack not say 5%, when the app shows “minoxidil 5%”?

- He asked: > “Apps pe dikha raha hai minoxidil five percent, lekin box mein five percent nahin hai.” - The coach clarified that 5% is mentioned in the ingredients section on the back, and that the formulation inside is exactly what the app shows.

1. Can he continue homeopathic and hormone medicines with Traya?

- He was worried: > “Mam isake sath homeopathic jo dava hai vo le sakata hun kya?” - Since he was taking homeopathy for hair fall plus separate hormonal medicines, the coach guided him: - Stop all other hair-related medicines: > “Hamare doctor sahab advice nahin karate ki ap Traya ke alava koi aur bhi supplement len. Apki kit hi apke lie sufficient hai.” - Continue the hormonal medicines prescribed by his doctor, because they are for a different health issue and won’t interfere.

1. How to space Traya tablets? Can they be taken together?

- He asked very practically: > “Tablet vo din men do bar aur health tablet vo bhi din men do bar ek lene ke bad kitani der bad lunga main?” - He was reassured that Hair Ras and Health Tatva can be taken together after meals, or with a small gap of 1–2 minutes, depending on comfort.

These doubts matter because if a patient doesn’t feel safe and clear, they don’t stay consistent. And with chronic hair loss, consistency is half the treatment.

Emotional & Lifestyle Impact: “Result Kab Milega?”

Imran wasn’t panicking, but there was a quiet anxiety behind every question. He had already spent 2–3 years watching his scalp thin out and 2–3 months on slow-working homeopathy.

He wanted to know the one thing every long-term hair fall sufferer asks:

“Kitane mahine lena hoga?”

The coach didn’t sugarcoat it. Based on his age, stage and scalp condition, she explained:

• His Traya journey would be 8 months.
• First 3 months – internal health and scalp start improving, mild dandruff comes under control.
• 4–6 months – noticeable control in hair fall.
• 7–8 months – visible changes like “baby hair” on the crown and thinning areas:

> “Seven eight months se apako apaki visible changes dikhana start ho jaenge, like ap notice karane lagenge jo apaka crown area hai na, vahan ap vo baby hair dikhana start ho jaega.”

She also set realistic expectations for the hairline:

“Traya jo hai na, vo hairline per regrowth ki surety nahin provide karata… lekin thirty percent cases mein dekha gaya hai ki hairline per bhi regrowth mili hai. Agar ap regular rahate hain to jo current hairline hai use manage aur maintain karane ki surety Traya provide karata hai.”

Being told plainly what is possible and what is not reduces the emotional rollercoaster and helps the person commit to a sensible, long-term plan.

How the Traya Hair Coach Built a Personalized Plan

Instead of just saying “use your kit”, Shivani walked Imran through each element and why it was there:

1. Minoxidil 5% (Dermatology)

• Usage: 1 ml morning + 1 ml night on visible thinning areas.
• Role: Increases blood flow to follicles, reverses miniaturisation, supports regrowth in androgenetic alopecia.
• Why it works for him: His 2–3 year history and visible scalp show a clear pattern of male pattern hair loss. Minoxidil directly targets that.

2. Scalp Oil + Health Oil Shot (Ayurveda, scalp health)

• Mix small and large oil bottles, apply twice a week.
• Apply at least 30 minutes before shampoo.
• These oils perform Ayurvedic Shiroabhyanga, calming the nervous system and improving circulation to roots while herbs and goat milk nourish follicles from the outside.

Here, his booster is likely a Scalp Therapy or Dandruff Therapy shot because of mild dandruff—both are designed to support scalp health, reduce flakiness and calm stress.

3. Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole-based)

• Use 2–3 times a week.
• Clears fungal dandruff (Malassezia), reduces itching and scalp inflammation.
• This ensures the scalp environment is clean so that minoxidil and oils can work better.

4. Hair Ras (Internal Hair Nourishment)

From the product bible, Hair Ras:

• Balances pitta dosha, improves blood flow to follicles, nourishes Asthi Dhatu (the tissue system related to hair and bones).
• His coach prescribed 2 tablets in the morning + 2 at night after food.
• It also supports conditions like heat, acidity, and even mild anemia, all of which indirectly affect hair.

This addresses internal stress, nutritional gaps and body heat – especially important if someone is under long-term hormonal treatment.

5. Health Tatva (Digestion & Absorption)

Imran was advised:

• 1 tablet in the morning and 1 at night after meals.

From the bible, Health Tatva:

• Acts as a digestive stimulant, improving nutrient absorption and metabolism.
• Poor digestion is a silent but major reason many people don’t get enough vitamins and minerals to their hair roots, even with a decent diet – a classic digestion and hair fall connection.

Together, Hair Ras + Health Tatva create a personalized hair treatment plan that doesn’t just target the scalp, but also his internal systems (pitta, gut, energy).

6. Nasal Ghrit (Sleep & Stress Support)

He was also given nasal drops:

• 3 drops in each nostril at night, unless he has cold, cough or sinus issues.
• According to Ayurveda, “nasa hi shirso dwaram” – the nose is a gateway to the head and hair. Nasal Ghrit calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and improves sleep – all essential for better hair growth.
