Abstract: The hair loss patients appear in all age groups, regardless of gender, and the number and severity are increasing every year. The causes of hair loss include not only genetic factors, but also environmental factors, lifestyle habits, and eating habits. This paper aims to introduce the goodness of black soybeans (Phaseolus vulgaris) rich in estrogen and white ferula mushroom (Pleurotus nebrodensis) with high antioxidant effect and protein content. Keywords such as hair loss, nutrition, and food ingredients were searched in Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Riss electronic databases, and the relevant information and research were reviewed. It is critical to maintain good care of hair to prevent hair loss, but it is often overlooked. Accordingly, as people are interested in foods that help prevent hair loss, black beans and white ferula mushroom are suggested to be used in various recipes so that they can be consumed regularly. Black soybeans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and white ferula mushroom (Pleurotus nebrodensis) in this review are foods with many potential health benefits and are expected to have great importance and potential for future food applications. In addition, interest in hair loss continues to this day, so it is believed that continued research is needed to find many food ingredients that can help prevent hair loss. Therefore, it is hoped that the importance of ingredients that are effective in preventing hair loss will be promoted and that it will be in the spotlight as a health functional food.
