In the planet earth around 3,52,000 flowering plants are available, this makes sense to researchers to investigate more on natural fiber composites in a challenging way. In other hand NFCs are growing demanding flight by its applications, ecofriendly and satisfying properties like mechanical, physical, chemical and so on. On this scope this paper provides key guidelines about different ways of specimen preparations using natural fibers and encourages new researchers. The different categories of natural fibers, specimen preparation methodology of natural fiber composites, forms, orientation, combination, strength and different chemical treatment required after extracting the fiber were discussed. Found less work carried out on categories namely wood, Fruits/seeds and root fibers.
