Disorders of the scalp, which is similar to skin, develop in various forms and are difficult to cure. Food ingredients have been known to be safe and effective in improving the health of hair and scalp and are constantly researched in cosmetic industries as a beauty treatment. This study is to review papers on isoflavone and anthocyan in blackbeans. Among many nutritional ingredients, blackbean is steadily receiving attention for its effectiveness in improving scalp disorders, as it is full of nutrition and physiologically active substances. A number of recent studies show that isoflavone and anthocyanin in blackbeans are effective antioxidents. However, there has not been any direct evidence of the blackbean myth: that it can improve the scalp and reproduce hair. Moreover, there were no direct or scientific studies which shows any active components of blackbeans in cosmetology. Thus, future studies on blackbeans and its direct influence on scalp and hair are recommended to further research its benefits.
