For over a decade, Leela Garu has been battling persistent hair fall. She had tried everything—shampoos, natural remedies, oils, Ayurvedic treatments, even PRP sessions—but nothing gave her lasting relief.

She recalls:

“Hair loss has been there for more than ten years. Ten years back, I was prescribed Minoxidil 2%. I used it continuously for 4–5 years. At that time, hair fall reduced and I could manage my volume. But in the last 1–2 years, hair thinning became very visible, especially at the hairline. It widened a lot.”

Despite her medical background (she is herself a doctor), she admits feeling helpless:

“I tried everything—from natural shampoos to Ayurvedic oils. I even did PRP. Nothing worked. Finally, my father also asked me to give Traya a try.”

The Root Cause Behind Her Hair Concerns

Through the consultation, her coach identified key contributing factors:

  • Long-Term Minoxidil Use & Inconsistency She had used 2% Minoxidil for years, then switched to 5%, then back to 2%, with frequent breaks. This disrupted results.
  • Age-Linked Hair Thinning After 10 years of progressive thinning, regrowth chances are limited, but maintaining existing hair is crucial.
  • Nutritional & Metabolic Issues Her Traya hair test highlighted nutrition gaps, metabolism issues, stress, and digestion problems (gas, acidity, bloating).
  • Stress & Headaches She reported frequent tension-type headaches, especially before her periods. Though not migraine, these indicate stress—another trigger for hair loss.
  • Dry & Frizzy Hair with Scalp Dryness Her scalp felt dry after washes, yet oily after a couple of days, showing imbalance in scalp health.

Her Concerns & Doubts

Leela Garu was realistic yet worried:

  • “Minoxidil use chestunnanu… but I don’t know how far it will help now.”
  • “Can I still get regrowth after so many years?”
  • “My scalp is dry and hair is frizzy… shampoo everyday cheyacha?”
  • “Oil overnight pettali? Ledu half an hour saripotunda?”

She also asked about long-term dependency:

“Do I need to continue supplements lifelong? Or will they stop after some months?”

The Coach’s Guidance

Coach Swathi patiently explained the realistic outcomes:

  • Regrowth Chances: Since she had used Minoxidil for years earlier, new regrowth may be limited. But the goal now is to preserve existing hair, control fall, and improve quality and density.
  • Consistency is Key: Regular use of Traya kit products would help manage her current hair and prevent further thinning.
  • Migraine Check: Because she had reported headaches, the coach clarified that true migraines would require avoiding Minoxidil—but since hers were tension-type, it was safe.

The Traya Treatment Plan

1. Topical Care

  • Minoxidil Serum (2%):
    • Apply 1 ml in the morning and 1 ml at night using dropper.
    • Spread gently with fingertips (no massage).
    • Apply only on visible scalp/hairline.
    • Initial shedding is normal—only weak hairs fall.
    • Scalp Oil + Growth Booster:
    • Mix booster into scalp oil bottle once.
    • Apply twice a week, keep for 30–60 minutes before shampoo.
    • Avoid overnight oiling to prevent dandruff/rashes.
    • Defence Shampoo + Conditioner:
    • Shampoo 2–3 times a week (daily wash possible if scalp feels oily).
    • Use conditioner only on lengths to reduce frizz and dryness.

    2. Supplements (Internal Care)

    • Hair Vitamin for Her: 1 tablet every morning after breakfast.
    • Hair Santulan 3: 2 tablets every night after dinner.
    • All supplements are herbal, ayurvedic, safe, and time-limited (3–6 months).

    Timeline & Expectations

    Swathi gave her a realistic roadmap:

    • Months 1–3: Hair fall control, improvement in scalp health, frizz reduction.
    • Months 3–6: Noticeable volume improvement, better texture.
    • After 6 Months: Maintenance phase with fewer products (only serum or oil for upkeep).

    Importantly, supplements are not lifelong—they stop after 3–6 months once internal health stabilizes.

    Emotional Relief

    For Leela Garu, the biggest comfort was honesty:

    “Coach chepparu regrowth 100% kachchitanga ivvalemu. But existing hair ni manage, maintain definite ga chestamu. That gave me clarity. I’m okay with it, as long as I don’t lose more.”

    After years of experimenting, she finally found a structured plan with professional monitoring.

    The Role of Traya App

    • Log & Earn: Track daily usage to earn coins for discounts (up to 20%).
    • Free Diet Plan: Customized based on her vegetarian/non-vegetarian preferences.
    • Call Booking & Chat: Anytime access to hair coaches.
    • Community Support: Interaction with other Traya users for shared experiences.

    Conclusion

    Leela Garu’s story highlights a reality many face—long years of hair thinning, repeated treatments, and confusion about Minoxidil.

    Traya gave her:

    • A realistic approach (focus on preservation, not false regrowth promises).
    • A complete plan (topical, internal, and lifestyle).
    • A support system through coaches, app, and community.

    Her journey shows that even after a decade of struggles, with the right guidance and consistency, hair health can be stabilized and improved.
