Traya Journey at a Glance
- Main concern: Gradual hair fall for 5–6 years, with visible scalp at the front and overall thinning; plus heavy dandruff
- What seemed to be driving it: Persistent, heavy dandruff (itching and scalp build-up can worsen shedding), along with an underlying health context like fatty liver (which also shaped what could or couldn’t be included in his kit)
- What he used: Anti-dandruff shampoo + anti-dandruff night lotion; later, Scalp Oil mixed with a Growth Therapy booster oil shot (once the replacement arrived)
- Timeline discussed: First focus on clearing dandruff; then shift to a regrowth-focused routine as guided by the team
- Outcome (so far): A clear, doable routine and follow-up support - plus a replacement oil shot ticket raised after the delivered bottle leaked
The day he opened the kit - and found it empty
Rohan, a working professional from India, didn’t call Traya because he was angry. He called because he was confused.
He’d finally opened his Traya kit - ready to start doing something about the hair fall that had been creeping up on him for years - and the one product he was supposed to mix into his Scalp Oil had leaked completely.
“Oil shot… leaked nikala hai… quantity bilkul zero reh gaya,” he explained. The instructions on the label said to mix it, but there was nothing left to mix.
It’s a small moment, but it hits hard when you’ve waited a long time to take action. And for Rohan, this wasn’t “new” hair fall. It was the slow kind - the kind that makes you look back at old photos and think, when did this change?
When thinning becomes impossible to ignore
When the Traya expert asked how long he’d been dealing with hair fall, Rohan’s answer was simple: “Paanch chhah saal to ho hi gaye.”
It wasn’t sudden. It was gradual. He noticed it more when his hair felt dry - “agar main dry use karun to zyada hota hai” - and over time, what bothered him most was the visibility of his scalp.
He said that earlier his hair was so dense “scalp nahi dikhta tha,” but now the hair had become thin and weak, and “front se kaafi scalp nazar aata hai.” He wanted the same thing most people want when they finally ask for help: to go back to how it used to be.
Not a new hairstyle. Not a cover-up. Just density.
Why Traya started with dandruff first
Rohan also had heavy dandruff, and he already knew Traya’s plan: “Pehle… dandruff clear karenge. Uske baad… nayi kit.”
That order matters because dandruff isn’t just a cosmetic issue. Traya’s anti-dandruff products are built around Ketoconazole IP 2%, a clinically used antifungal ingredient that targets dandruff caused by the fungus Malassezia fur fur. When dandruff becomes stubborn, it can lead to itching, flaking, inflammation, and scalp build-up - and constant scalp irritation can worsen shedding. In other words, for many people, the link between dandruff and dry scalp hair loss becomes a very real day-to-day experience.
There was another layer too: Rohan mentioned a fatty liver issue and that he was taking fish oil tablets. In his case, the expert noted that some medicines were removed from his kit because of that context - so the plan stayed safe and appropriate for him.
Q: Does dandruff actually cause hair fall?
Yes - when dandruff is heavy, it can trigger itching, inflammation, and scalp build-up. That irritation can make hair shedding feel worse, which is why Traya often prioritizes clearing dandruff before focusing on regrowth.
The most relatable doubt: “How do I use this?”
Once the replacement ticket was raised, Rohan’s real question came out. He had already used the shampoo (“hard wash”) and wanted clarity: what goes when, how often, and what to do now that the oil shot was missing.
He asked plainly: “Lotion kaise use karna, sir?” And when the expert said it’s a night application, Rohan double-checked: “Daily?”
That’s the vulnerability most people don’t admit: you can have the right products and still feel lost. If you do it wrong, you worry you’ll waste time - or make things worse.
The turning point: a routine he could actually follow
The Traya expert broke it down in a way that sounded manageable, not overwhelming.
Rohan was told to focus on two products until the replacement arrived: the Anti-dandruff Night Lotion and the Anti-dandruff Shampoo.
He was guided to apply the anti-dandruff lotion at night, spread across the scalp with fingers (not aggressively massaging), leave it on, and do this strictly three times a week. In the morning, he’d wash with the Anti-dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole IP 2%).
Then came the part he was waiting for: once the new oil shot arrived, he’d mix the booster oil shot into the Scalp Oil bottle in one go, and apply the oil 30 minutes before hair wash. The Scalp Oil in Traya’s Ayurvedic range is designed to maintain scalp health and stimulate hair follicles by nourishing the scalp and improving blood circulation.
Rohan repeated his doubt to be sure: “Jo ye shot hai, usko saare mein mix kar dena bottle mein?”
And the answer stayed consistent: yes, mix the entire shot into the scalp oil bottle at once.
Even small clarifications like these reduce anxiety - and increase consistency, which is where results usually begin.
What he wanted from Traya wasn’t “more products” - it was his old hair back
When asked what he wanted most - hair fall control, density, thickness - Rohan didn’t hesitate.
He wanted the hair he had 5–6 years ago. The kind where the scalp didn’t show. The kind where you don’t overthink bright lighting or the front section of your head.
And that’s why Traya’s approach in his case started with the scalp environment first: clear the heavy dandruff, get the routine right, then move toward regrowth-focused treatment as the next phase.
Resolution: support that continues after the call ends
By the end of the call, two important things had happened.
One, the practical problem was handled: a ticket was raised and Rohan would receive a replacement oil shot.
Two, the bigger problem - confusion and uncertainty - was handled too. He ended the call saying, “Bilkul clear hai.”
A follow-up slot was also booked for him in the evening, 12–15 days later, so he wouldn’t have to troubleshoot alone. Because for long-term concerns like his, a personalized hair treatment plan isn’t just about what’s inside the box - it’s about having someone to guide you through the process.
