Rohan’s Stage 1 Hair Fall Plan for Dandruff Control

Traya Journey at a Glance

Main concern: Mild hair fall for about 1–1.5 months, along with heavy dandruff
What seemed to be driving it: Dandruff-related scalp stress plus nutrition and lifestyle factors (as discussed in the consult)
What he used: Anti-dandruff shampoo (Ketoconazole 2%), Anti-dandruff Night Lotion (Ketoconazole 2%), Traya Scalp Oil (with booster shot mixed in), and Hair Ras supplements
Timeline shared by the coach: Month 1 focused on dandruff control and internal health; hair fall reduction expected in 3–4 months; visible thickness/density changes around 5 months
Where he landed after the call: Clear on how to follow his personalized hair treatment plan, and booked a 15-day follow-up for progress tracking

“I’ve got the kit… but I didn’t really understand how to use it.”

That one honest line is where Rohan’s Traya story begins. He wasn’t panicking - his hair fall was “very mild,” and it had been around for “one… one and a half months.” But the heavy dandruff was hard to ignore. And like most people who are new to a regimen, he mainly wanted clarity: what to apply, what to take, how often, and for how long.

When mild hair fall still feels like a warning sign

Rohan, a working professional from a metro city, described his situation simply: “It’s not too much… but it’s been around one… one and a half months.”

He also shared something important early on - he hadn’t tried any hair loss treatment before, didn’t have a medical history, and wasn’t on any ongoing medication. What stood out, though, was his quick confirmation when the coach asked about his scalp: heavy dandruff.

During the consultation, the coach reviewed his scalp pictures and reassured him that his scalp wasn’t visibly showing from the top or the front, and his hairline looked intact. Based on that, she explained he appeared to be in Stage 1, which is exactly the stage where getting consistent early support can help maintain what you have.

The “why” behind his concern: dandruff, plus internal support

In Rohan’s case, the coach didn’t pin it on just one thing. She explained the root causes as a combination of nutrition, lifestyle, and dandruff-related concerns.

That matters because dandruff isn’t just a cosmetic annoyance. When the scalp is irritated and itchy, people often scratch without realizing it. Over time, that constant friction and inflammation can affect scalp comfort and hair stability - one of the reasons many people start searching for answers around dandruff and dry scalp hair loss.

At the same time, the coach also framed hair health as something that improves when internal health is supported, not just when products are applied.

Q: Does dandruff trigger hair loss?

Yes - dandruff can contribute to hair fall when itching and scalp inflammation lead to frequent scratching and a disturbed scalp environment. That’s why Traya’s approach for Rohan focused early on dandruff control along with internal nourishment.

The questions he asked (and why they were relatable)

Rohan’s biggest concern wasn’t fear - it was confusion. He had a shampoo, a Ketoconazole product, an oil, and “several other kits,” and he asked, “Shall I use all those regularly… or how to use it?”

He also wanted to know the practical part most people hesitate to ask out loud: is this kit for one month, two months, or the full five months?

The coach’s response wasn’t vague motivation. She gave him a clear, doable routine and a realistic timeline - plus a reminder that hair regrowth needs patience and consistency.

The turning point: a routine that finally sounded manageable

Once the coach broke it down into weekly frequency, Rohan’s tone shifted to relief: “Weekly twice. Okay, okay, got it.”

Here’s what she mapped out for him, based on the products in his kit:

He was advised to use the Anti-dandruff Night Lotion three times a week at night. This night lotion contains Ketoconazole 2%, which (as Traya explains) helps reduce dandruff by controlling the fungal driver behind it and soothing inflammation on the scalp.

For oiling, he was told to use Traya Scalp Oil twice a week in the morning for at least 30 minutes, then wash it off. Traya Scalp Oil is designed to maintain scalp health and stimulate hair follicles, and it’s made using the Ayurvedic process of medicated oil preparation (sneh pak dravya), where herbs and goat milk are processed into the oil for follicular nourishment. He also received a booster shot to mix into the oil one time for customization support.

For cleansing, the coach aligned him to the Anti-dandruff Shampoo, which contains Ketoconazole 2%. Traya positions this as a dandruff-clearing product to maintain scalp health (not as a direct hair growth product), so healthier hair has a better environment to grow.

And for internal nourishment, he was told to take Hair Ras daily: two tablets after breakfast and two after dinner. Hair Ras is Traya’s Ayurvedic formulation positioned as “daily natural hair nourishment” that supports scalp and hair health by balancing pitta dosha, improving blood circulation to hair follicles, and helping tissue nourishment (Asthi Dhatu support).

The timeline that helped him stay patient

The coach gave Rohan a clear expectation ladder:
Month 1 would focus on dandruff control and internal health improvement. In 3–4 months, he could expect reduction in hair fall. Around month 5, he could start noticing visible changes in crown thickness, density, and hair quality.

Since his hairline was stable and he was Stage 1, the coach also clarified they were not adding minoxidil, focusing instead on maintenance and strengthening.

Resolution: not “fixed overnight,” but no longer confusing

By the end of the call, Rohan had what most first-time users actually need: confidence in the routine.

He acknowledged that the app likely had the instructions, but the consult made it click - and he agreed to upload scalp pictures for tracking and booked a follow-up call in 15 days (even picking an evening slot that fit his schedule).

It wasn’t a dramatic “before-after” moment yet. It was something quieter and more sustainable: structure, support, and a plan he could realistically follow even on busy days.
