Treatment with a combination of testosterone and 2′-fucosyllactose increases hair gloss, increases hair length, reduces a hair loss area, enhances hair cuticles, increases the number and size of hair follicles, and improves expression of proteins and genes related to hair proliferation and growth, compared to treatment with testosterone alone, thus being applicable as a substance for various food and pharmaceutical compositions based on effects of promoting hair growth, improving hair loss, and ameliorating, preventing or treating hair loss.
