Traya Unveils India’s Largest Hair Health Study: showcases data points from 400,000plus customers revealing Internal Root Causes Behind Hair Loss
29th August 2025: Traya, India’s first ever health-tech brand committed to providing solution to hair loss, has released its nationwide internal study on root causes behind hair loss. For years, Indians have looked at hair fall as a cosmetic problem. But the truth is louder than ever, hair loss is your body’s first SOS signal. This white paper on hair health, is built on anonymised data from over 400,000 individuals across the country, the report breaks down and showcases internal causes like Sleep, Stress, Gut and overall energy levels as leading determinants in India’s hair fall issue.
August is observed as the Hair Loss Awareness Month, hence to create awareness Traya analysed data from over 4 lakh Indians (3 lakh males and 1 lakh females) across metros, Tier-2 cities, and regions including North, South, East, West, and Central India. This is India’s first city and region-wise mapping of lifestyle factors linked directly to hair loss, making it clear that we are sleeping less, stressing more, eating in a rush, not consuming required nutrients and running on empty energy levels. And guess what’s paying the price? Our hair!
Key Findings from 400,000+ Diagnostic Responses
- Women are sleeping 6-8% worse than men. That means every second woman you know is waking up tired, restless, and with more strands on her pillow
- South India shows the lowest sleep scores in the country. Men average just 59.6%, while women drop even lower at 53.5%, resulting in poor hair quality and early signs of hair loss and thinning.
- Maharashtra shows high stress across genders, especially women (16.1%), Hyderabad and Bengaluru show high stress in both men and women
- Across metros, both men and women are seeing burnout symptoms show up on their scalps before they even recognise them mentally.
- In cities like Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, women report 2x to 3.5x more stress-linked hair fall than men.
- Tier-1 women consistently score lower on health markers than their Tier-2 counterparts, reflecting higher lifestyle strain.
Releasing the report, Traya’s Co-Founder Saloni Anand said, “Hair loss is never just an external issue, it’s almost always rooted in internal factors like sleep, stress, gut health, lifestyle, nutrition etc. Our internal research with 4lakh customers reaffirms this, which is why at Traya we don’t just treat the scalp, we treat the whole person. With our doctor-led, science-backed approach that integrates the power of three sciences, we’ve seen results that are up to 3x better than most prescribed hair loss solutions.”
Why This Report Matters
Traya is the only brand sitting on data this deep, this real, and this personal. And it’s telling us one thing loud and clear: Hair fall is the first domino to fall when your body is struggling. Ignore it, and you’re ignoring your health. The findings don’t just reveal numbers; they paint a real-life picture of how our modern/sedimentary lifestyles are silently attacking our health. Hair loss is often dismissed as a cosmetic inconvenience. It’s no longer just about saving strands, it’s about saving wellness. Traya doesn’t just fix the strands, it fixes the roots.
