In the modern era, recycling and reuse of waste to reduce environmental pollution is the main objective of sustainable development. Lots of researchers are running on innovative techniques and many of them were thinking for improvement in the field of concrete technology by utilizing the waste material in concrete to develop the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete is one which offers a convenient and practical and also economical method to overcome micro cracks and related types of deficiencies. In view of the fact that concrete is weak in tension therefore several measures are adopted to overcome this deficiency. Human hair fiber is used as a natural fiber to improve the strength characteristics of the concrete and as well as mortar. Human hair is normally strong in tension, for this reason it can be used as a fiber reinforcement material. Human hair is a non-degradable matter obtainable in greater quantity and also at the very cheap cost. Since human hair is non-degradable it creates environmental problems. By using human hair in concrete as fiber reinforcement it also reduces the environmental problems. Also, addition of human hair fibers in the concreteincreases the micro cracking control, binding properties, imparts the ductility and also increases the swelling resistance of the concrete. In this paper an effort has been made to review the works that have been already done in this field.
