“There won’t be any side effects, right?”
That was the first real pause in the call. A 48-year-old homemaker from Bengaluru - let’s call her Meera - had just received her first Traya kit. She was in the middle of menopause, managing life, family, and now a new kind of worry: hair that no longer felt like hers.
The hair coach had explained that her scalp wasn’t getting enough nourishment, that external factors, nutrition, and metabolism were all ganging up on her hair. But what Meera really wanted to know was simple: “There won’t be any side effects with this… with the medicines?”
Only after she heard, “The supplements are Ayurvedic, they do not have any kind of side effect, you can use them without any worry,” did her voice relax. That was the moment she allowed herself to hope this could actually work.
When menopause and hair fall collide
Before the call, Meera had filled out her Traya hair test, which flagged three big issues behind her hair fall: external factors, nutrition, and metabolism. By the time the coach called, she already knew “something was off,” but no one had really connected the dots for her.
The coach broke it down gently. Her scalp was a bit oily, which meant build-up, sweat, and pollution were likely clinging to her roots. That sticky layer makes it harder for follicles to breathe and for any treatment to penetrate. Add to that the nutritional dips and metabolic changes that often come with menopause - slower digestion, fluctuating appetite, different sleep - and you get hair roots that simply aren’t getting what they need.
In simple words, her scalp was like soil that looked okay from far, but was slowly drying and compacting underneath. Seeds were still there, but nothing lush was going to grow unless the soil was softened, cleaned, and fed again.
Can metabolism really affect hair fall?
Yes. When metabolism slows down or becomes irregular, the body doesn’t absorb nutrients efficiently. Even if you eat well, your follicles may not receive enough iron, protein, and micronutrients. Over time, this weakens roots and shortens the hair growth phase, causing gradual thinning and excess shedding.
The routine: cleaning the canvas, then feeding it
Once the “why” was clear, the coach moved to the “how.” For Meera, that meant first fixing the scalp environment and then supporting internal health.
Because her scalp was oily and she washed her hair only twice a week, the coach nudged her gently: “If you are having an oily scalp, we recommend washing at least three times a week.” Not for vanity, but because a cleaner scalp means better serum penetration and less dandruff and dry scalp hair loss down the line.
To reset her scalp, the routine started with Traya’s Scalp Oil mixed with Calm Therapy booster oil. The scalp oil itself is a coconut oil base enriched through the Ayurvedic sneha-pak process with herbs like amla, bhringraj, brahmi, yashtimadhu, guduchi, and goat milk. This blend is designed to deeply nourish hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and condition both roots and hair.
The Calm Therapy shot adds castor oil and Ylang Ylang. Castor oil increases the moisturizing effect on the scalp, while Ylang Ylang’s aroma is known to reduce alertness and promote calm, making the nightly ritual as much about stress relief as about hair.
She was told to mix the entire Calm Therapy shot into the Scalp Oil just once, keep that bottle, and use it two to three times a week, about thirty minutes before shower. For cleansing, she’d use the sulphate- and paraben-free Defence Shampoo, followed by Defence Conditioner only on the lengths to restore softness and reduce breakage.
This was her new pre-wash ritual: a small reset three times a week that cleaned her “canvas” and prepared it for treatment.
Inside-out support: supplements for the hair cycle
The external care was only half the story. Because her hair test clearly showed nutrition and metabolism as issues, the coach focused on internal support.
Every morning after breakfast, Meera would take one Hair Vitamin. This is Traya’s non-sugary multivitamin that combines essential vitamins (A, C, D, E, B9, B12, biotin), minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, plus natural DHT blockers such as pumpkin seed extract, green tea extract, and bhringraj. For someone in the menopause phase, where small nutritional gaps easily become big problems, this helps fill the missing pieces that diet alone often can’t.
At night, after dinner, she’d take two tablets of Hair Ras. This Ayurvedic formulation works on pitta balance, tissue nourishment, and blood flow to the follicles. By strengthening asthi dhatu (the tissue layer linked to hair and bones) and improving circulation, Hair Ras supports a stronger hair growth cycle from within. Over months, this kind of internal support can make a significant difference in iron deficiency hair fall recovery and overall hair quality.
To make it sustainable, the coach kept it simple: if she missed her morning dose, she could take it after lunch; if she missed the whole day, just continue normally from the next day. No drama, no guilt.
The serum and the scary part: more shedding at first
The most emotionally charged part of the call came when the coach introduced the Minoxidil serum.
Meera was asked to apply 1 ml in the morning and 1 ml in the evening directly on the roots where the scalp was visible or thinning. Spread gently with fingers, no aggressive rubbing. Then came the crucial warning: “Once you start using the serum, for the first few weeks you may feel you are having a little bit more hair fall than usual. But do not worry, that’s absolutely normal.”
The coach used a simple image to make it less frightening: “Green leaves can only grow once the yellow leaves have fallen off.” Minoxidil speeds up the shedding of weak, detached hairs so that stronger strands can take their place. Without this step, those weak hairs would have fallen anyway, just more slowly. With treatment, the process is accelerated, which feels scary but is actually a sign the serum is working.
A realistic timeline, not a miracle promise
Meera then asked what almost everyone asks: how long will this take?
Her coach didn’t sugarcoat it. For her condition, results would take around three months to start showing. The first two months would be about removing weak hairs and improving scalp health. Around the third month, she could expect a visible reduction in hair fall. From the fourth month onward, she’d likely notice a fuller-looking scalp, a thicker ponytail, and new baby hairs.
She was encouraged to follow a “three-kit rule” - essentially, to commit to at least three months of consistent use before judging the outcome. After three to six months, the supplements would be tapered off, and the maintenance phase would continue with oil and serum.
This steady, guided approach is where the digestion and hair fall connection also gets addressed indirectly through products like Hair Ras and better metabolism support, rather than quick fixes.
Supported, not left alone
What made Meera feel safest wasn’t just the products; it was the sense that someone would walk with her through the process. The coach reminded her to install the Traya app to access a “How to use” guide, her Ayurvedic diet plan, and daily logging, plus the small bonus of earning coins for discounts.
She could book follow-up calls, chat with hair coaches, and get reminders, but the message was clear: “Traya is going to be with you till you are getting results. The only thing we tell you is to be regular and consistent, because that’s the difference between those who see results and those who don’t.”
By the end of the call, Meera had gone from “Will there be side effects?” to calmly planning, “Most probably from the 15th, I’ll start.” It wasn’t a dramatic movie moment, just a quiet decision to show up for herself, day after day.
