In an era where marketing has started to overshadow genuine user experiences, distinguishing the truth about health and wellness products becomes paramount. Hair loss treatments, in particular, are always shown with grand promises and huge advertisements. But through all of this Traya Health emerges with a unique holistic approach combining Ayurveda, dermatology, and nutrition to tackle hair fall at its root. But do we truly deliver?
In this blog, we will discuss many reviews and delve into real user experiences. Our aim is to provide you with a balanced perspective, highlighting both the commendations and criticisms, to help you make an informed decision.
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.
Types of Hair Loss Conditions
Hair loss is not one-size-fits-all. Beyond pattern baldness, several distinct conditions cause hair to fall out. Here are some of the main types:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): We have covered this above, it is hereditary and hormone-related. It accounts for most chronic hair loss in adults (about 95% of men and 50% of women with thinning have this).
-
Telogen Effluvium: This is excessive shedding (not permanent bald patches). It happens when many hairs prematurely enter the resting (telogen) phase, leading to diffuse thinning. Triggers include high fever, surgery, severe stress, or new medications. It usually appears a few months after the trigger and can improve within 6–12 months once the trigger is removed.
-
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder that causes round patches of baldness on the scalp (and sometimes elsewhere). The exact cause is unknown, and hair may regrow or fall out again. It is distinct from androgenic alopecia and is often treated with steroids or other immunotherapies. The image above (the first image in this section) shows a classic “patchy” alopecia areata.
-
Anagen Effluvium: Sudden hair loss during growth, most commonly due to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It causes rapid shedding of nearly all scalp hair within days to weeks. Unlike telogen effluvium, hair follicles are not dead; hair typically grows months after treatment ends.
-
Traction Alopecia: is hair loss from chronic tension on the hair shaft. Styles like tight ponytails, braids, cornrows, or hair extensions can pull on follicles. Over time, the pulling leads to thinning at the hairline or wherever the tension is greatest. Traction alopecia is often reversible if caught early, but scarring and permanent loss can occur if the style continues for years.
-
Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia: A group of rare disorders where inflammation permanently destroys hair follicles and replaces them with scar tissue. Examples include lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus. The scalp can look smooth and shiny without follicles. Hair will not regrow in scarred areas. Prompt medical treatment is needed to prevent more scarring.
-
Other Causes: Fungal infections (tinea capitis) can cause patchy hair loss, especially in children. Trichotillomania is a psychological condition where a person repeatedly pulls out their hair. Nutritional deficiencies (like iron-deficiency anaemia) can cause diffuse thinning. Conditions like chronic telogen effluvium or traction from styling can be significant in women.
In summary, alopecia can be classified as either non-scarring (hair can regrow, e.g. pattern baldness, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction) or scarring (permanent). Examples include: androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen/anagen effluvium, traction alopecia, and scarring alopecia. Understanding your type is crucial, as treatments and expectations vary widely. When in doubt, a doctor’s exam or a diagnostic hair quiz (like Traya’s) can help determine your hair loss type.

Traya never just relies on anecdotal evidence. And because of this reason we have conducted internal clinical studies to better understand the outcomes of its treatment plans. According to data published on Traya’s website:
-
93% of users reported noticeable improvement in their hair condition which included reduced hair fall, increased hair density, and better scalp health.
-
71% said their scalp felt healthier, with reduced itchiness, dandruff, and sensitivity.
-
62% noticed changes in digestion, sleep, and stress levels which is a powerful indicator that Traya’s focus on treating the root causes (like gut health, hormone imbalance, and stress) is yielding holistic benefits.
More Than Hair: Holistic Improvements
One of the standout findings from the internal study is how Traya’s users experienced benefits that went beyond just hair.
-
Users who followed the prescribed diet and herbal supplements often reported better sleep patterns and reduced anxiety.
-
For some, improved gut health and digestion were early indicators that the system was working internally before visible hair changes emerged.
Real User Journeys:
Beyond data, the most compelling evidence comes from raw, unfiltered stories of transformation. On Traya’s Customer Stories page, users share how the journey tested their patience but ultimately delivered on its promise.
Take Shivogi’s journey, for instance. After struggling with persistent hair thinning, he turned to Traya out of desperation. What stood out in their case was not just the visible hair regrowth but also the shift in lifestyle and support system that helped them regain control over her health.
In their words:
“Traya did not just give me a product. They gave me structure. I finally understood how my stress and food habits were affecting my hair.”
Why These Numbers and Stories Matter
In Traya we try to bring a refreshing transparency with our data and user experiences. We never promise magic but instead promise a method backed by clinical data and lived stories. If you are the kind of person who wants sustainable results over superficial quick fixes, this data suggests you are exactly the kind of user Traya is built for.
Sometimes reading through a blog might not be enough for someone to trust us with their intimate Hair Care Journey. Maybe watching Rahul Gautam, a youtuber who faced hair Fall issues, talk about his 1 year Traya Review here, might help out. He experienced heavy hair fall post-COVID and tried several products before opting for Traya, and chose Traya because of our personalized treatment approach after taking our online hair diagnosis test. After he followed the plan consistently for 5 months, they initially experienced increased hair fall, which is common (shedding phase). But Gradually noticed reduced hair fall, stronger roots, and new hair growth in thinning areas.
Traya has never claimed that it is an overnight fix to all of your hair fall problems. The game is about patience and trust. It is a sustainable, long term alternative to general market temporary fixes.
