Hair Growth Cycle:
To combat Hair Loss, it is essential to understand the Hair Growth Cycle because many hair related concerns can be attributed to it. These phases include:
-
Anagen Phase:
The Anagen phase is also called the Growing Phase. During this phase lasting about 2 to 7 years, there is an active growth of new and young hair.
-
Catagen Phase:
The Catagen Phase is also called the Transition Phase. During this phase lasting about 10 days, hair stops the blood flow and detaches itself from the hair follicle.
-
Telogen Phase:
The Telogen Phase is also called the Resting Phase. During this phase lasting about 3 months, the hair strands remain in their follicles and do not fall out.There is also new hair being formed in the hair follicles. It is estimated that around 10-15% of your hair is in this phase at all times.
-
Exogen Phase:
The Exogen Phase is also called the Shedding Phase. During this stage, hair strands are set free from their follicles, which eventually leads to their shedding.
Then the cycle starts anew. Read more about: The Hair cycle.
What’s Inside a Traya Hair Kit
Traya has always believed in a three-fold approach towards hair loss. The three folds include:
-
Ayurveda: Traya wholeheartedly believes that hair loss is reversed when your entire body cleanses itself. To aid in that, over half of the Traya products include Ayurvedic ingredients like Bhringraj, Ashwagandha and Sankpushpi.
-
Dermatology: To assist the Indian Homeopathic Nuske (prescriptions), we have multiple products that are approved by medical science. These include Minoxidil, Finasteride and Ketoconazole.
-
Nutrition: As aforementioned, Traya believes in a holistic approach. We also have a personal hair coach guiding you step by step in your diet.
Accordingly, we will talk about a few ingredients in each and every section of our approach towards hair care. You can check out all our products and their ingredients yourself too, here.

Ashwagandha in Calm Ras
Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, or “Indian ginseng”, is a powerful herb used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. It helps the body manage stress.
What does Ashwagandha used in Calm Ras help with?
An important cause of hair fall is disturbed sleep and stress which impact on our hair health. During sleep, our body goes through essential repair processes that are heavily affected by sleep deprivation. This weakens our hair structure and increases hair fall.
Calm Ras helps to relieve stress, improve sleep quality and supports mental health.
It helps to:
-
Reduce mental fatigue
-
De-stress naturally
-
Improve sleep cycle
-
Nourishes the nervous system helping create a barrier against stress.
It targets some of the most common causes of hairfall such as stress, anxiety, mental fatigue and sleep disturbances.
-
Bhringraj in Hair Ras.
Bhringraj, also known as Eclipta alba, or the "King of Hair," is a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine traditionally used to promote hair growth, support liver health, and rejuvenate the body.
What does Bhringraj used in Hair Ras help with?
Inadequate sleep, diet and lifestyle can cause an imbalance of Pitta dosha and hormones. It also affects hair follicle health and blood flow to the scalp which leads to hairfall.
Hair Ras helps to balance pitta dosha and works on maintaining scalp and hair health with the help of adaptogenic herbs. It increases blood flow to hair follicles to nourish them from within and also helps in tissue nourishment of the Asthi Dhatu.
It helps to:
-
Balances pitta dosha and works directly on hair fall
-
Improves blood circulation to the hair follicles
-
Equivalent to Chavanprash for the hair

Yashtimadhu in Nasal Grit.
Yashtimadhu also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, or the “licorice root", is a cherished herb in Ayurvedic medicine traditionally used to soothe the digestive tract, support respiratory health, and balance the body's inflammatory response.
What does Yashtimadhu in Nasal grit help with?
According to Ayurvedic texts, the nasal passage is the gateway to the head, including the brain, hair, eyes, and ears (Nasa hi shirso dwaram). This gateway allows for the administration of medication and nourishment through substances applied to the nostrils.
Traya Nasal Ghrit targets the root causes of hair fall and thinning, addressing issues like poor sleep patterns and physical and mental stress. This Ayurvedic product features pure ghee medicated with potent herbs, helping to alleviate stress, enhance sleep, and nourish hair follicles, resulting in healthier hair and reduced hair loss.
Nasal drops are effective because of the special properties of Shatavari and Yashtimadhu. These properties help to improve hair health.
It also helps with:
-
Work on hair growth
-
Aids in restful sleep
-
Induces calm by reducing stress
-
Relief from headaches.
-
Minoxidil in Minoxidil 5% and 2%.
Minoxidil, a widely used topical medication, is clinically proven to stimulate hair growth, slow hair loss, and enhance scalp health by revitalizing hair follicles and improving blood flow.
What does Minoxidil do?
Minoxidil targets the root cause of hair thinning and wide partition in men( with the 5% solution) & women(with the 2% solution) along with shrinking of hair follicles, lack of blood flow to the hair follicles (undernourished hair follicles). All of this occurs due to high levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the body. Minoxidil & Procapil in this formulation, are clinically proven to bring about vasodilation effect and improve nutrient-rich blood flow to the hair follicles to regrow healthy and thicker hair in men & women with pattern hair loss.
It is known to also reverse the miniaturisation of hair follicles because of its vasodilating effect. It helps to thicken the blood vessels and promote more blood flow to the follicles there by thickening the hair strands. It speeds up the telogen phase (shedding) of the hair cycle which causes excessive hair shedding and slows down the anagen (growth) phase. You can read about the possible side effects of Minoxidil here and a before vs after summary here.
-
Multivitamins in Hair Vitamin.
Multivitamins are dietary supplements that combine essential vitamins and minerals, designed to fill nutritional gaps, support overall health, boost energy levels, and enhance immune function when dietary intake is insufficient.
What do Multivitamins in Hair Vitamin do?
Poor nutrition and vitamin deficiencies are known to be one of the leading causes of hair fall and hair thinning. Hair vitamins target the root cause of problems like these along with ingredients that act as natural DHT blockers that support the growth of thicker and healthier hair. These multivitamins for hair are fortified with biotin, B12, B9 and natural DHT blockers like pumpkin seed extract, pygeum, green tea extract, and bhringraj.

Safety vs Common Alternatives
You must have thought to yourself, if we prescribe minoxidil too, then why not buy it yourself, over the counter. There is a difference in Generic Minoxidil and Trayas regime.
General Minoxidil is infamous for Dizziness and causing flaking, and without a doctor's supervision or a customised plan, you never know if you are helping your hair to regrow or fall even faster. In the same vein, Hair Multivitamins also have a risk of an overdose of zinc or iron and without a trusted doctor's supervision or customised plan, it becomes really problematic to use.
Traya has no major side effect, if you follow all of our instructions, and with a trusted doctors and hair coaches supervision and a special customised plan, it becomes even easier and better for you to partake in the hair regrowth journey
Can Everyone Use Traya?
Yes, but Traya is only recommended after diagnosis.You can do the diagnosis with us at Traya's Free diagnosis. After the Free 2 min hair diagnosis we easily identify the symptoms and causes of your hair loss. With the help of a doctor we create a customised plan for you and your hair. Traya avoids the “one-solution-fits-all” risk and instead uses a holistic approach. But there are certain conditions when Traya is unsuitable for a handful of people, like:
-
Pregnant women
-
Users allergic to herbal components
-
Advanced baldness cases (may require transplant)

FAQs
Q: Can I take Traya with thyroid medication?
A: Yes, but consult your Traya doctor before beginning the regimen. Traya treatments often include Ayurvedic herbs and supplements that may interact with thyroid medications. During the onboarding, Traya collects your health data—including thyroid conditions—and customizes the treatment accordingly. However, always inform your primary physician before combining treatments.
Q: Can I skip the serum if my skin is sensitive?
A: Yes, if you have sensitive or reactive skin, it’s advisable to do a patch test first. Traya’s serum is typically mild and dermatologically tested, but if irritation occurs, you can skip it. Traya’s system is multi-pronged (internal + topical), so skipping the serum won’t nullify all benefits, but it may slow down visible results. Consult your Traya advisor for serum alternatives or adjustments.
Q: What if I get digestion issues?
A: Mild digestive discomfort can occur, especially when introducing Ayurvedic herbs or supplements. Traya acknowledges this in their safety guide and usually recommends taking the supplements with food to reduce issues. If the problem persists, they suggest pausing the supplements and contacting their support team. Your plan can be tweaked to accommodate your gut health needs.
