Traya Journey at a Glance
- The problem: Neeraj had on-and-off hair fall for nearly 4–5 years and wanted hair regrowth plus hair fall control.
- What was also going on: Mild dandruff now (earlier it used to get heavy sometimes), with visible flakes at times.
- What he used: Traya Anti-dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole 2%), Anti-dandruff Night Lotion (Ketoconazole 2%), Scalp Oil mixed with Dandruff Therapy booster oil shot, plus Traya supplements and Hair Vitamin as guided.
- Timeline he was given: Months 1–3 focus on internal health and reducing dandruff; months 4–6 hair fall control and scalp health; around month 8 visible regrowth begins.
- The shift: His biggest win was clarity - knowing exactly what to apply, when to apply it, and how the plan would evolve with regular progress calls.
“I ordered the kit… but no one told me how to use it”
Neeraj (name changed), a young professional from North India, wasn’t calling because he doubted hair care. He was calling because he didn’t want to do it wrong.
“I ordered on the app… the kit has come… but I didn’t get the call. How do I use it?” he asked - half confused, half impatient, like someone who’s finally ready to start, but needs the map.
Hair fall had been part of his life for “four-five years,” he said. Not dramatic every day - more like a frustrating pattern: “Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.” He hadn’t taken any treatment earlier, and he didn’t report medical conditions like acidity, constipation, migraine, sinus, or folliculitis. But there was one detail that mattered: dandruff.
It was mild now, but he admitted it had turned “very heavy” earlier. And even now, he’d notice flakes sometimes - on the shoulder, or caught under the nails when he scratched.
And his expectation from Traya was simple, and honest: “Hair regrowth… and hair fall control.”
When hair fall isn’t “just hair fall”
Neeraj’s story is a common one: long-term shedding that feels unpredictable, and a scalp that occasionally acts up. When dandruff keeps returning - even mildly - it can create a cycle where the scalp feels irritated, you scratch more, and the roots feel weaker over time. That’s why dandruff and dry scalp hair loss is often less about one bad day, and more about a scalp environment that needs steady correction.
In Neeraj’s case, the coach didn’t jump straight to “everything at once.” She explained the plan like a timeline you can hold in your head: early months for internal support and scalp reset, then hair fall control, and only then visible regrowth.
That clarity mattered because Neeraj wasn’t only looking for products - he was looking for predictability.
Q: Does dandruff actually cause hair fall?
Yes - when dandruff leads to itching, flaking, and scalp irritation, it can trigger more breakage and shedding. Controlling dandruff helps maintain scalp health, which supports healthier hair growth over time.
The doubts he didn’t want to ignore
Neeraj’s questions were practical - exactly the kind people ask when they’re serious about following a plan.
He asked how often he should use the Anti-dandruff Shampoo: “Two to three times a week… like leaving two days in between?” He also double-checked the oil step: should he mix the small bottle little by little, or all at once? The answer was firm: mix it completely.
But the biggest question came when he noticed something on the app: “Minoxidil is shown in the video… for regrowth. I didn’t get that.”
It’s a moment many people relate to - the gap between what you expect and what arrives in the box.
The coach explained why: Neeraj’s first month was designed to work on dandruff first. Minoxidil would be introduced after that, since the initial focus was scalp readiness.
She also pre-empted the fear most people don’t ask loudly: if minoxidil starts later, and shedding happens, will it get worse?
She said it clearly - hair fall may increase initially when starting minoxidil, and that’s expected in the beginning as the scalp adjusts and weaker hair sheds first.
The turning point was a plan that felt doable
Neeraj didn’t need a motivational speech. He needed a routine he could actually follow on busy days.
The coach broke it down into simple actions.
For dandruff control, his kit included Traya’s Anti-dandruff Shampoo with Ketoconazole IP 2%, which is formulated to reduce dandruff by targeting the fungus linked with it, while also helping soothe inflammation and scalp discomfort. He was advised to use it two to three times a week, depending on how active the dandruff felt.
For stubborn flakes, he was guided to use Traya’s Anti-dandruff Night Lotion (Ketoconazole IP 2% w/v) three nights a week, applied gently across the scalp without massaging - left overnight, then followed by oil and wash the next day.
He was also told to use Traya Scalp Oil by mixing it with the Dandruff Therapy booster oil shot. Traya’s Scalp Oil is an Ayurvedic medicated oil designed to maintain scalp health and stimulate hair follicles through nourishment and better circulation to the follicles. The Dandruff Therapy booster oil shot is indicated for heavy dandruff and itching, and in his case it was used as targeted support because of his dandruff history. He was told to apply it at least 30 minutes before hair wash, with scalp oil limited to twice a week.
Then came supplements. Neeraj was instructed to take his hair supplement twice a day (morning and night) after meals, for the longer course. He also had Hair Vitamin for three months, once daily after meals, to support nutritional gaps - important because a personalized hair treatment plan isn’t only what you apply on the scalp; it’s also about what your follicles receive from within.
Finally, he asked a question that shows real commitment: how will he know when to reorder, and who decides what changes next month?
The coach explained that progress calls happen every 10–12 days, and based on updates, the kit is adjusted - like adding minoxidil later for regrowth support.
That’s when his tone softened. “Okay… understood.”
Resolution: from confusion to confidence
Neeraj’s hair fall journey didn’t magically end during that call - but something else did: uncertainty.
He started the call feeling stuck, because he had the kit but not the clarity. He ended it knowing exactly what to do tonight, what to do tomorrow morning, and how the next month would evolve - without him having to guess.
And for anyone who’s been dealing with hair fall for years, that’s not a small transformation. It’s the first sign that the plan is finally bigger than the problem - and simple enough to follow.
