It’s not just about hair - it’s about health.

From Cosmetic Fixes to Root-Cause Thinking
Hair fall isn’t just about losing strands it chips away at self-esteem, reshapes how people see themselves in the mirror, and often becomes a symptom of larger health imbalances that go unnoticed. In the last two years, a new kind of hair care conversation has emerged in India one that’s less about shampoos and more about the liver, gut, hormones, and stress.
At the center of this shift is Traya, a brand that positions itself not as a hair care company but a health care company where hair fall is the final symptom, not the first problem. Their approach blends three disciplines: Ayurveda, Dermatology, and Nutrition, claiming to address the “root cause” of hair loss through personalised treatment plans.
But does it work? And more importantly who does it work for?
What Makes Traya Different?
Unlike most hair care brands, Traya starts with a diagnostic quiz that asks questions about digestion, sleep, menstrual cycles, mental stress, sugar cravings, and even bowel movements. The idea is to build a full picture of internal health before recommending treatment.
Based on this test, users are assigned a “stage” of hair loss and given a doctor-verified plan that may include Ayurvedic tablets, scalp solutions, protein supplements, gut cleansers, and prescription medicines like Minoxidil.
This mix of allopathy and Ayurveda makes Traya unique but also harder to commit to.
A Full-Time Routine (Not a Casual Kit)
A recurring sentiment in user reviews is that the process feels more like a lifestyle shift than a treatment. Many users say they were overwhelmed initially with 5–7 tablets daily, scalp applications, diet changes, and coaching calls every 15–30 days. For those expecting a quick-fix serum, this came as a surprise.
However, users who stuck with the plan for at least 4–6 months reported noticeable improvement not just in hair density but in energy levels, digestion, and sleep. In fact, many reviewers noted internal changes showing up first.
One user, a 27-year-old woman from Pune, wrote:
“No hair brand ever asked me about bloating. But once my digestion improved, my hair fall actually reduced. That was the turning point.”
A man in his early 30s recovering from COVID shared on Reddit that Traya didn’t stop his shedding overnight but by addressing his sleep cycle and anxiety with herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, his hair loss noticeably slowed by Month 4.
Another thread detailed how a woman with PCOS and insulin resistance was prescribed a blend of nutraceuticals, scalp sprays, and Ayurvedic liver support. Her feedback echoed the same theme: results came slowly, but with deeper changes.
“I started this for my hairline,” she wrote. “But what really changed was my energy levels and my periods. That’s when I realised this was deeper than just hair.”
Who It Works For and Who It Doesn’t
Across reviews, one pattern is clear: people with digestion issues, hormonal imbalance (especially PCOS), and stress-related shedding saw better results than those with genetic male pattern baldness or large bald patches.
Traya does not promise regrowth for late-stage baldness and even mentions this on its website. For those expecting movie-level volume or reversal of years of follicle damage, the plan may fall short. But for users in early to moderate stages especially with systemic health triggers the multi-science approach appears to have merit.
Of course, not everyone is satisfied. Some users drop out midway due to the complexity of the plan or lack of visible results in the first two months. Others feel they’re taking too many pills without understanding their role.
What Do Experts Say?
Doctors express cautious optimism. Dr. Radhika Menon, a trichologist based in Bangalore, explains:
“Any integrative treatment that combines lifestyle, herbs, and prescription topicals can work but only if the plan is tailored correctly and monitored consistently. Otherwise, it can lead to confusion, poor compliance, or delayed medical intervention for underlying conditions.”
On the flip side, many conventional treatments ignore these internal triggers entirely. Users on Quora and YouTube frequently report being prescribed Minoxidil with no discussion of stress, iron levels, or diet.
Some say Traya was the first time a medical system linked their hair fall to gut health, insulin resistance, or menstrual irregularities.
Personalised Wellness Meets Coaching Support
Traya’s appeal also lies in the rise of personalisation. With health awareness rising, especially post-COVID, more Indian consumers are seeking holistic plans as long as they feel supported along the way.
Each Traya user is assigned a coach who coordinates with an Ayurvedic doctor, dermatologist, and nutritionist. While not everyone finds this useful, many say it made the experience less intimidating.
One user wrote:
“When I was confused about a side effect, my coach got me on a call with the doctor in 24 hours. That kind of support made me stick to the plan.”
Still, the brand’s model demands commitment both financially and in terms of effort. Plans typically cost ₹6,000 to ₹9,000 for three months. Results are rarely visible before Month 4. And consistency is key.
People who gave up early within 1–2 months often left negative reviews, while late responders who stayed consistent for 5–6 months reported better outcomes.
Traya Is Not a Miracle Cure But It’s a Shift
What stands out across reviews isn’t glowing praise it’s cautious optimism. Users aren’t claiming Traya changed their hair overnight. But they are saying it reframed their hair fall as a symptom of deeper dysfunction and that made all the difference.
The brand’s strength lies in this reframing. For users with stress-related shedding, hormonal imbalances, or weak digestion, the real progress often starts from within.
“It gave me a reason to take my health seriously,” one user shared. “The hair was just the starting point.”
Is It Worth Trying?
Traya isn’t for everyone.
If you’re looking for instant results or have significant bald patches, it may not deliver. But if you’re open to a slower, root-cause-based routine and willing to view your hair as a reflection of internal health not just a cosmetic concern Traya might be worth exploring.
Hair fall may show up on your scalp, but increasingly, the solution seems to start in your gut, your hormones, your liver, your stress levels. That’s the direction Traya is betting on. And for many Indians especially those let down by surface-level fixes it’s a bet that finally feels personal.
