“Actually, I have PCOD…”
When Pooja joined Traya, she was upfront about her health condition: PCOD and low iron levels. Both of these are known to cause hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, and ultimately hair fall and thinning.
She admitted, “Because of straightening, I am also facing breakage and dryness.”
This combination — internal health issues plus external hair damage — made her case particularly challenging. But she was determined to fix her hair health, and Traya’s expert team was ready to guide her.
The Root Cause of Pooja’s Hair Fall
Her hair coach, Arif, carefully explained what was happening:
- PCOD & Hormonal Imbalance – PCOD disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to thinning and excessive shedding.
- Low Iron & Digestion Issues – Pooja’s hair test showed low iron and weak metabolism, which meant her hair roots weren’t receiving enough nourishment.
- Stress – A silent factor that further aggravated the problem, weakening follicles and worsening PCOD symptoms.
- Straightening Damage – Frequent use of straighteners made her hair brittle, leading to breakage and loss of shine.
As the coach put it, “Your weak hairs will fall anyway — whether today or tomorrow. But with Traya, we speed up the process so stronger hair can grow in their place.”
Pooja’s Doubts and Concerns
Like many first-time users, she had practical questions:
- “You didn’t send me shampoo, only conditioner. Should I use my own shampoo?”
- “Do I really have to take four iron tablets daily?”
- “What if I forget my supplements one day?”
- “Will my hair fall increase when I start the serum?”
The coach addressed each one with patience:
- She could continue her regular shampoo, and just use Traya’s Defence Conditioner after.
- Yes, four tablets daily (two in the morning, two at night) were needed for iron correction, but this was safe alongside her PCOD medication.
- If she ever forgot a dose, she should resume the next day, not stop the course.
- Some initial shedding was expected with the serum, but this was a sign of progress, as weak hairs were being replaced by stronger ones.
The Emotional Impact
Hair fall linked to PCOD is not just a cosmetic issue — it can feel deeply unfair and demoralizing. Pooja was already managing a chronic hormonal condition, and on top of that, straightening had left her hair dry and breakage-prone.
She confessed that she often felt confused about dosage, product usage, and whether results would really come.
The coach reassured her: “By the third month, you’ll notice reduced hair fall. By the fourth month, your scalp will look fuller, and hair volume will increase.”
That clarity gave Pooja the confidence to commit.
The Hair Coach’s Plan for Pooja
Arif mapped out a step-by-step routine:
- Supplements
- Iron Santulan: 2 tablets after breakfast, 2 after dinner.
- Hair Santulan: 2 tablets after dinner.
- These would correct iron deficiency, balance metabolism, and support stronger roots.
- Topicals
- Nourish Hair Oil: Apply 30 minutes before shampoo.
- Defence Conditioner: Apply only on hair strands, never the scalp.
- Hair Active Serum: 1 ml daily at night, spread gently across the scalp with a dropper (no massage).
- Lifestyle & App Guidance
- Download the Traya App to log daily usage, earn discounts, and access a free diet plan designed to balance PCOD-related issues.
- Avoid excessive straightening to minimize breakage and dryness.
- Iron Santulan & Hair Santulan Supplements – To address low iron, hormonal imbalance, and root weakness caused by PCOD.
- Hair Active Serum – To stimulate regrowth and reduce shedding once weak hairs shed.
- Nourish Hair Oil – To improve scalp circulation and prep roots for absorption.
- Defence Conditioner – To protect strands from dryness and breakage after straightening damage.

Pooja’s Takeaway
By the end of the call, Pooja felt reassured: “Okay, clear. I will continue as guided.”
Her coach emphasized patience and consistency: “This is a three to six-month journey. If you stay regular, results will come. Weak hairs will shed, but new, stronger ones will grow in their place.”
For Pooja, this meant hope — that despite PCOD, low iron, and past hair damage, regaining healthy, fuller hair was possible with structured guidance.
Pooja’s story reminds us that even complex cases like PCOD-related hair fall can be managed effectively when internal health and external care are addressed together. With the right supplements, scalp care, and patience, stronger and healthier hair is within reach.
