Rohan’s Fight With Heavy Dandruff & Hair Fall

Traya Journey at a Glance

• Main concern: heavy dandruff and on-and-off hair fall that had been going on for a long time
• Context behind it: visible scalp issues (heavy dandruff) plus early-stage hairline thinning seen in scalp images; moderate stress in the background
• What he used: Anti-dandruff shampoo, anti-dandruff night lotion, and Traya’s Scalp Oil mixed with the dandruff booster oil shot; along with Hair Ras and Hair Vitamins
• Timeline he was given: first 2 months to reduce dandruff, months 3–4 to reduce hair fall and improve scalp health, and from month 5 onwards to see baby hairs
• Outcome he was working towards: “Dandruff na ho, hair fall na ho… growth ho jaaye bas” - a cleaner scalp, controlled fall, and visible improvement over time

The call that started with one simple question

“Ye jo oil hai… shampoo se pehle lagana hai ya baad mein?”

That’s how Rohan, a 35-year-old from North India, began his Traya journey - not with a dramatic declaration, but with a practical doubt. He had already spoken to a team member earlier, his kit had arrived, and now he just wanted to do it right.

Because for him, the goal was simple and very relatable: “Dandruff na ho, hair fall na ho. Bas. Growth ho jaaye.”

When “kabhi hota hai, kabhi nahin” becomes tiring

Rohan described his hair fall as inconsistent. It wasn’t alarming every day, but it had been around “kaafi time se.” A few strands would fall sometimes, then it would feel normal again. The dandruff, though, was harder to ignore - he called it “heavy dandruff,” and even said it shows up the moment he scratches.

That kind of cycle is mentally exhausting. When a problem keeps coming back, you stop trusting your own “good days.”

What the hair test and scalp images revealed

On the call, the coach reconfirmed Rohan’s hair test details: age 35, moderate stress, no concerns with constipation, gas, acidity, sleep, or energy, and the big visible issue - heavy dandruff.

They also reviewed his scalp images and flagged early-stage hairline thinning (“second half stage” as explained on the call). The coach set expectations honestly: hairline regrowth can be difficult, but the focus would be on managing and maintaining it so it doesn’t worsen.

This is where a personalized hair treatment plan matters - because it doesn’t just hand you products; it tells you what to solve first and what “progress” should look like.

Why dandruff can quietly trigger hair fall

When dandruff is heavy and persistent, it’s not only a “flaky scalp” problem. It often brings itching and irritation along with it. And once scratching becomes routine, the scalp barrier gets disrupted repeatedly - setting up a cycle where scalp health dips and shedding can feel more noticeable.

In Traya’s Anti-dandruff Shampoo, Ketoconazole IP 2% is the key antifungal active used to reduce dandruff and prevent further fungal growth, while also helping with inflammation and soothing the scalp (supported by Aloe Vera as per the formulation notes). This matters because dandruff and dry scalp hair loss is rarely about hair alone; it’s about giving the scalp a cleaner, calmer environment where hair can grow without constant irritation.

Q: Does dandruff cause hair fall?

Yes - especially when it leads to itching, inflammation, and repeated scratching. Managing dandruff helps improve scalp health, which supports healthier hair growth conditions.

The moment of vulnerability: fear of minoxidil shedding

Later in the conversation, the coach mentioned that once dandruff reduces, minoxidil may be introduced in the next kit. That’s when Rohan’s tone shifted.

“Baal gir jaayenge… toh main use hi nahin karunga.”

He wasn’t being stubborn - he was being cautious. The idea of “more hair fall” felt like a risk he didn’t want to take. He asked again, more directly: “Agar kahin zyada remove hoga, phir kya karunga?”

The coach explained that initial shedding can happen for some people, and it’s not compulsory that everyone will experience it. The reassurance was simple: don’t panic, stay consistent, and keep tracking.

Making the routine feel doable

Rohan’s first problem was purely practical: how to layer the products.

The coach walked him through it clearly. On nights when he applies the Anti-dandruff Night Lotion, the next morning he should apply Traya Scalp Oil (mixed completely with the dandruff booster oil shot) and keep it for at least 30 minutes before washing. For washing, he should use the anti-dandruff shampoo and leave it on the scalp for 4–5 minutes.

This kind of clarity is often what turns intention into action.

The inside-out support: Hair Ras and Hair Vitamins

Alongside scalp care, Rohan’s kit included internal support: Hair Ras and Hair Vitamins.

Hair Ras is positioned as daily natural hair nourishment, designed to balance pitta dosha and support scalp and hair health from within, including improving blood circulation to hair follicles and tissue nourishment of asthi dhatu. Hair Vitamins help address nutritional gaps and are fortified with key vitamins and minerals, along with natural DHT blockers like pumpkin seed extract and bhringraj - useful when someone wants stronger, healthier hair quality support alongside topical routines.

Rohan didn’t report anemia, so this wasn’t a story of hair fall due to anemia. But the structure of his plan still followed a common logic: reduce the visible scalp trigger first, then support hair strength and growth with consistency.

The timeline that made it feel real

Rohan was told what to expect, month by month:
In the first two months, the focus would be dandruff reduction. In the third and fourth months, hair fall control and scalp health improvement. And from the fifth month onwards, visible changes - “chhote chhote baby hairs.”

That roadmap mattered because it replaced guesswork with a sequence. Rohan’s response was calm: he’d start using the kit and update the team as he went.

Resolution: a calmer start, built on consistency

Rohan’s story isn’t a “miracle in 10 days” story. It’s the more honest kind - where the win is starting correctly, understanding the order of treatment, and not letting fear dictate decisions.

He came in wanting two things - “dandruff na ho, hair fall na ho” - and left the call with a routine, a timeline, and the confidence to begin. The next chapters would be written in consistency: oil before wash, shampoo contact time, night lotion on schedule, and supplements without missing doses.
