Neeraj’s 18-Month Hair Fall & Dandruff Reset

Traya Journey at a Glance

• Main concern: Ongoing hair fall for nearly one and a half years, along with persistent dandruff.
• What seemed to be driving it: Dandruff-related scalp irritation plus lifestyle strain like short sleep (often 5–6 hours).
• What Traya built for him: A personalized hair treatment plan focused on controlling dandruff first, then supporting regrowth.
• What he used: Anti-dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole 2%), Anti-dandruff Night Lotion (Ketoconazole 2%), Scalp Oil with a booster oil shot, Nasal Ghrit drops, and daily support via Hair Vitamins and Health Tatva.
• Timeline & expected outcome: Dandruff control first; visible, steady changes typically need consistency for 5–8 months, with ongoing topical support for maintenance.

“I’ve been seeing it… for one and a half years.”

It didn’t start as panic. It started as noticing.

When Neeraj, a working professional from Hyderabad, got on a call with a Traya hair coach, he put it simply: he’d been “seeing” his hair fall for “near one and half year.” Not a sudden episode. Not a one-week spike. Something that lingered long enough to become a background worry.

And then there was the other piece he couldn’t ignore - dandruff. The kind that’s hard to stay calm about because it isn’t just flakes. It’s the itching, the scalp discomfort, the constant sense that something is “off” at the roots.

He had already tried seeking help elsewhere. He mentioned visiting a hospital recently and getting suggestions that included a serum and supplements, and even said he’d been told to take injections for head pain. So by the time he spoke to Traya, he wasn’t looking for hype. He was looking for a plan that actually made sense.

When hair fall and dandruff show up together

Neeraj’s call had two clear themes: the hair fall was ongoing, and dandruff was part of the picture. That combination matters.

Traya’s coach explained an approach Neeraj seemed to immediately understand: control dandruff first, because an irritated scalp can keep triggering shedding. In real life, dandruff and dry scalp hair loss can feel like a loop - flakes lead to itching, itching leads to more disturbance at the roots, and the hair fall starts feeling even more dramatic.

On top of that, Neeraj’s routine wasn’t exactly recovery-friendly. When asked about sleep, he said he usually gets around six hours, and sometimes it drops to “five… five and half hours.” Not everyone connects sleep with hair, but in many people, stress and disrupted rest can quietly add fuel to shedding.

Q: Does dandruff actually cause hair fall?

Yes - when dandruff leads to itching and scalp inflammation, the constant irritation can weaken the environment hair needs to stay anchored and grow well. That’s why Traya prioritizes clearing dandruff before expecting solid regrowth.

The doubts he voiced (and why they were valid)

Neeraj didn’t come in with dramatic fear. His doubt was more practical - and that’s often the hardest kind.

At one point, he asked in his own way whether results would even come: would it improve, or would he just be “only” left with a box of products? He also wanted clarity on usage: should the night lotion be applied at night or in the morning?

These are real questions. When you’ve been dealing with hair fall for over a year, trust doesn’t come easily. You want specifics: what to use, when to use it, and how long you’ll need to stay consistent before you can expect change.

The turning point: a plan that didn’t rush regrowth

What changed the tone of the call was the coach’s sequencing.

Instead of promising instant regrowth, the coach anchored the plan around a reality Neeraj could follow: dandruff control first, then growth support, and consistency for months - not days. The coach set expectations that results typically take time, sharing a broad window of “five to eight months,” and explained that early months are often about getting the scalp stable and covering nutritional support.

That’s what a personalized hair treatment plan looks like in practice: not one magic product, but the right order of actions.

What Neeraj’s Traya routine looked like

Because dandruff was a key issue, the coach aligned Neeraj’s routine around medicated dandruff control, scalp nourishment, and internal support.

The dandruff-focused products were:
Traya’s Anti-dandruff Shampoo, which contains Ketoconazole IP 2% - an antifungal ingredient used to reduce dandruff by targeting the fungus linked to it and calming scalp inflammation. The coach also included Traya’s Anti-dandruff Night Lotion with Ketoconazole IP 2% w/v, positioned for stubborn dandruff control with overnight application (and clarified it’s preferred at night).

For scalp nourishment:
Neeraj was guided to use Traya Scalp Oil, a medicated Ayurvedic oil designed to support scalp health and stimulate hair follicles through massage and improved circulation. He was also told to mix it with a booster “oil shot” (the plan referenced a separate small bottle), making the routine feel more customized to his scalp concerns.

For stress and sleep support:
The coach also included Traya Nasal Ghrit - a ghee-based Ayurvedic nasal drop processed with herbs like Yastimadhu, Shatavari, and Jatamansi. Neeraj was instructed to use a few drops daily for a short course (the coach mentioned 21 days). In Ayurveda, this nasal route is seen as a gateway to nourishment for the head region and is used by Traya to support calm and sleep - two things Neeraj seemed to struggle with.

For daily nutrition and digestion support:
The coach spoke about morning supplements, including Hair Vitamins and Health Tatva. Hair Vitamins are positioned to support nutritional deficiencies and overall hair health, while Health Tatva focuses on digestion, absorption, and energy - important because the digestion and hair fall connection often shows up subtly when the body isn’t absorbing nutrients efficiently.

Living with it, while working through it

Neeraj didn’t explicitly talk about confidence or social anxiety - but you could hear something else: fatigue with trial-and-error. He’d already consulted multiple times. He wanted something he could do consistently, even with his schedule.

So the coach kept it practical: which product at night, what to do in the morning, how long to keep the oil on before washing, and how to continue long-term. That kind of hand-holding matters when the problem has lasted long enough that you’re no longer “worried,” you’re just tired.

Resolution: choosing consistency over quick fixes

By the end of the call, Neeraj sounded clearer. His last questions were about the dandruff “levels” and product timing - signs that he was no longer stuck on “Will this work at all?” and had shifted to “How do I do this correctly?”

His journey didn’t end on the call; it began there - with a plan that accepted reality: first fix the scalp environment, then push for growth, and stay consistent long enough to let the body catch up.
