Neeraj’s Hair Fall Got Worse After COVID—Then He Got a Plan

Traya Journey at a Glance

  • Key problem: 2–3 years of hair fall that got much worse after COVID, along with visible thinning at the crown and a receding hairline.
  • What was going on underneath: heavy, sticky dandruff that left the scalp red when removed, plus occasional gas/low energy suggesting the digestion and hair fall connection.
  • What he started with: Hair Vitamin, Hair Ras, Health Tatva, plus Scalp Oil mixed with Dandruff Therapy shot, Ketoconazole 2% anti-dandruff shampoo, and an anti-dandruff night lotion.
  • Timeline he was guided on: first 3 months focused on dandruff + internal health; regrowth cycle from month 4; visible regrowth expected closer to 8 months.
  • Outcome direction: a structured, personalized hair treatment plan with clear usage, monitoring, and a potential switch to a regrowth serum after dandruff improves.

“Bas bata do… use kaise karna hai?”

When Neeraj (name changed), a working professional from India, called Traya back, he wasn’t dramatic. He was just stuck.

His kit had already arrived. No call had come yet. And now the question was simple but urgent: “Treatment bhi aa gaya hai… to use kaise karna hai? Kya karna?”

It’s an oddly vulnerable moment - when you’ve finally decided to do something about your hair fall, and then you’re left staring at bottles and tablets, unsure if you’ll do it right or make it worse.

That’s when his hair coach stepped in, calmly taking him through everything, one habit at a time.

When hair fall stopped being “normal”

Neeraj had been dealing with hair fall for “do-teen saal.” Earlier, it was manageable. But after COVID, it escalated.

In his words, “Corona ke baad se bahut zyada ho gaya… aur weight bhi jyada badh gaya.”

What worried him more was the pattern: he felt hair growth was still happening, but the shedding was relentless. “Hair growth to hai, lekin hair fall zyada ho raha hai.”

And the mirror was giving new evidence. He described loss from the middle (“bich mein se pura chala gaya”), and he also asked about hairline recession on both sides.

The coach confirmed what his description suggested: the hairline was going back and the crown area looked more visible - so Traya would work on both hair fall control and regrowth support.

The hidden daily trigger: sticky dandruff and a reactive scalp

Alongside shedding, Neeraj mentioned something that sounded both uncomfortable and familiar to anyone with chronic dandruff.

“Dandruff to aata jaata hai… chipak ka rehta hai. Usko haath se hataenge to pura daag lag jaata hai, laal laal ho jaata hai.”

That “sticky” dandruff matters because it isn’t just a cosmetic annoyance. When flakes cling to the scalp and the skin turns red after removal, it can turn into a cycle: itching, irritation, buildup, more scratching, and then more hair fall.

This is exactly the dandruff and dry scalp hair loss loop many people get trapped in - where the scalp environment itself becomes unfriendly for healthy hair.

On top of that, Neeraj also reported occasional gas and low energy. The coach connected it to absorption and internal balance - because when digestion is off, it often shows up in places you wouldn’t expect, including hair quality.

    Q: Can dandruff trigger hair fall?

Yes - when dandruff leads to itching, redness, and scalp irritation, repeated scratching and inflammation can worsen shedding. Clearing the scalp helps create the conditions for healthier hair.

The moment he asked the question most people hesitate to ask

Once the routine was explained, Neeraj asked what many customers silently wonder:

“Ye teenon tablet saath mein le sakte hain na? Ek saath sab le sakte hain na, ya gap se?”

It wasn’t just a scheduling doubt. It was trust. If he was going to commit for months, he needed reassurance that this wouldn’t backfire.

The coach kept it simple and doable: the tablets can be taken together after food, and the routine can be adjusted if mornings get missed.

What his plan looked like in real life

Neeraj wasn’t handed a “generic hair fall” lecture. He was given a practical routine built around his biggest triggers - dandruff control and internal support - before jumping to regrowth.

His kit included:

He started with Hair Vitamin (one tablet after breakfast), focused on nutritional support and hair health.

Then came Hair Ras (two tablets after breakfast and two after dinner). In Traya’s approach, Hair Ras is positioned as daily Ayurvedic nourishment that supports scalp and hair health from within.

And Health Tatva (one tablet after breakfast and one after dinner), which is designed to support digestion and nutrient absorption - important when someone reports gas and low energy, and you’re trying to improve the body’s ability to nourish follicles.

For the scalp routine, he had two key pieces: an oil and medicated anti-dandruff products.

The coach told him to mix the Dandruff Therapy shot fully into the Scalp Oil in one go, then use the oil twice a week, applying it at least 30 minutes before bathing.

To wash, he used the Anti-dandruff Shampoo with Ketoconazole 2%, which is designed to reduce dandruff and prevent further fungal growth, while also soothing inflammation.

He also had an Anti-dandruff Night Lotion, to be applied three nights a week, spread gently across the scalp with no massage, left overnight, and washed the next day.

The weekly rhythm was clear: scalp oil twice weekly, night lotion three times weekly, and shampoo three times weekly.

Why the coach didn’t promise instant regrowth

Neeraj wanted to know what to expect - and how long this would take.

The coach explained Traya’s timeline in a way that felt honest, not salesy: the plan was 5 to 8 months, and the first 3 months would focus mainly on dandruff and internal health. From month 4, the regrowth cycle would start; by months 4–6 hair fall control and stronger roots would become more noticeable; and around month 8, visible regrowth could be expected.

She also encouraged him to upload scalp images, especially because regrowth at the hairline can be difficult - and monitoring matters.

And there was a very “real world” next step: if dandruff improved within a month, he could be switched to a regrowth serum in the next month, but he’d need to upload BP readings for three days before that switch.

The quiet resolution: clarity, structure, and someone checking in

By the end of the call, Neeraj sounded lighter - not because his hair had magically changed, but because the confusion had.

“Ye to clear ho gaya,” he said once the routine finally made sense.

He even agreed to a follow-up call after 15 days, so the plan wouldn’t be a one-time instruction dump. It would be guided.

That’s often the real turning point: not a miracle product, but the moment you stop guessing, and start following a plan that’s built for you.
