Kunal’s 8-Month Plan to Tackle Hair Fall and Dandruff

Traya Journey at a Glance

Key concern: Kunal, a 35-year-old, had hair fall for 3–4 years and “heavy, sticky dandruff” on the scalp, and he wanted “hair regrowth.”
Root causes identified in his Traya hair test: dandruff factor, metabolism, and nutrition.
Main products in his routine: Anti-dandruff shampoo, Anti-dandruff Night Lotion, Scalp Oil mixed with Dandruff Therapy oil shot, plus Hair Ras, Health Tatva, and Hair Vitamin.
Timeline he was coached on: first 3 months focused on internal + scalp health; 4–6 months for visible reduction in dandruff and hair fall; 7–8 months onwards for visible follicle-health improvement and signs of regrowth.
Outcome (what changed for him): he moved from confusion (“I want to know how to use it”) to a clear, doable routine and a long-term, personalized hair treatment plan he could stick to.

“I’ve received the kit… now what?”

Kunal didn’t call Traya to debate ingredients or compare brands. He called for something simpler and more urgent: clarity.

“Madam, I have received the kit and I want to know how to use it.”

That one line carried a familiar mix of hope and overwhelm. After “so many years” of hair fall, he’d finally taken a step beyond home remedies. But a kit full of bottles and tablets can feel like a puzzle when you’re already tired of trying.

The problem wasn’t just hair fall - it was hair fall with a scalp that couldn’t breathe

When Shivani, his Traya hair coach, pulled up his hair test, she reflected back what Kunal already knew from experience: “You have heavy and sticky dandruff on your scalp.” He confirmed it immediately: “Yes.”

He’d been dealing with hair fall for three to four years. No past treatment. No vitamins. “I am just trying my home remedies,” he said. That’s a common stage many people get stuck in - not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know which problem to solve first.

And in Kunal’s case, the scalp problem needed to be handled upfront.

The root causes Traya mapped: dandruff, metabolism, and nutrition

Shivani explained that as per his Traya assessment, the root causes weren’t just one thing. For Kunal, it was a combination: metabolism, nutrition, and the dandruff factor.

That matters because persistent dandruff can be more than cosmetic. When the scalp is constantly irritated, itchy, or coated with sticky buildup, it becomes harder to maintain scalp health - something Kunal needed before introducing stronger hair regrowth actives.

At the same time, internal factors like metabolism and nutrition shape how well your body absorbs what it needs. In simple terms, if digestion and absorption are struggling, the supply line to the follicles struggles too - one reason the digestion and hair fall connection shows up in long-term hair issues.

Q: Can dandruff cause hair loss?

Yes - especially when dandruff leads to chronic itching, inflammation, and scalp buildup. Traya’s anti-dandruff products focus on clearing dandruff and supporting scalp health, which can reduce hair fall triggered by constant irritation.

The doubts were practical - and very real

Kunal’s questions weren’t dramatic, but they were honest. He kept returning to one thing: “I got the kit. I want to know how to use it.”

He clarified frequency (“Three times in a week?”), sequence (“If I apply the night lotion today, tomorrow morning I can apply the oil?”), and even the basics of supplements (“Do I need to mix it with water and have it?”).

He also asked for a simpler dosage: “I can’t take only one tablet?” When you’ve never taken supplements before, “2–0-2” can sound like a lot - until someone explains it calmly and sets expectations.

The turning point: a routine that finally made sense

Shivani didn’t rush into big promises. She anchored Kunal to a timeline and a method.

She told him clearly that results are gradual: the first three months focus on internal and scalp health; four to six months is when he may see visible reduction in dandruff and hair fall; and seven to eight months onward is where follicular health improvements and visible changes (like “baby hair” on the crown area) are more likely to show up.

Kunal repeated it back in his own words to confirm: “So first three months my dandruff will move out… and then after that, like seventh month and eighth month… hair regrowth will start.”

And Shivani corrected one important expectation gently: hair fall and dandruff are chronic conditions, so the goal is not that they “stop” forever, but that they reduce and can be maintained.

That’s the moment the plan became sustainable - not perfect, just realistic.

What Kunal used in his Traya kit (and why)

Kunal’s kit was built to first calm the scalp and support internal root causes - then consider regrowth actives once dandruff became mild.

Anti-dandruff Shampoo and Anti-dandruff Night Lotion for scalp control

Kunal was advised to use the Anti-dandruff shampoo two to three times a week, and the Anti-dandruff Night Lotion thrice a week, applied on the entire scalp before sleep, gently spread without rubbing or massaging.

As per Traya’s formulation logic, ketoconazole-based anti-dandruff products help reduce dandruff by acting on the fungal factor behind dandruff, while also reducing inflammation and soothing the scalp. This is especially important in dandruff and dry scalp hair loss patterns, where the scalp environment itself becomes a trigger for shedding.

Scalp Oil + Dandruff Therapy oil shot, twice a week before hair wash

Kunal had both bottles and asked, “What is that?”

He was guided to mix the Dandruff Therapy oil shot into the Scalp Oil, shake well, and apply twice a week - about 30 minutes before washing hair.

Traya’s Scalp Oil is designed to support scalp health and stimulate follicles with regular oiling and massage routines; and the Dandruff Therapy booster focuses on heavy dandruff and itching concerns, making the oiling step more targeted to his scalp condition.

Hair Ras, Health Tatva, and Hair Vitamin for internal support

Kunal was instructed to take:

Hair Ras in a “2–0-2” dose: two tablets after breakfast and two after dinner
Health Tatva “1–0-1”: one tablet after breakfast and one after dinner
Hair Vitamin “1–0-0”: one tablet after breakfast only

In Traya’s approach, Hair Ras is positioned for daily natural hair nourishment and is designed to work on scalp and hair health from within, including balancing pitta and supporting nourishment. Health Tatva supports digestion, absorption, and metabolism - key when nutrition is a root cause. Hair Vitamin supports nutritional deficiencies and includes natural DHT blockers like pumpkin seed extract and plant extracts, aligning with the nutrition part of Kunal’s root-cause mix.

The “maintenance mindset” that made him feel in control

One subtle line from Kunal captured a big shift: “So we have to maintain it on the time now.”

That’s not resignation. That’s ownership.

He also agreed to track the routine through the Traya app - logging daily usage for consistency, using “how to use” guidance inside the app, and building his diet plan so he could see a report chart around nutritional gaps.

Finally, he committed to follow-ups: “Yes, please,” he said when Shivani suggested connecting every 10–12 days. They even locked a call for the 18th at 10 a.m.
