It’s something that many men worry about.
But if you’re losing your hair, don’t panic – it might actually work in your favour.
A new study has revealed that bald men are actually seen as more attractive than hairy blokes.
In the study, experts asked 2,000 women about the features they find most attractive in men.
While a muscular physique was found to be the most desirable attribute, a bald head was second on the list.
This could explain the appeal of stars like Jason Statham, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and Vin Diesel.
Jessica Leoni, spokeswoman for Illicit Encounters, which commissioned the study, said that attractiveness was ‘in the eye of the beholder’.
‘Bald men are among the sexiest looking chaps out there,’ she added.

While many men worry about losing their hair, baldness could be linked to a range of beneficial traits.
Studies have shown baldness in men is seen as a non-threatening form of social dominance.
Bald men are also thought to be more socially mature, intelligent, educated and honest compared with men who have a full head of hair.
For the new survey, 2,000 women were asked about the most attractive features in men.
A muscular physique topped the list, having been chosen by 42 per cent of the respondents.
This was followed by a bald head (40 per cent), blue eyes (38 per cent), a beard (36 per cent), dark hair (31 per cent), and curly hair (30 per cent).
Other popular attributes included high cheekbones (26 per cent), blonde hair (22 per cent), green eyes (21 per cent), and a hairy chest (18 per cent).
Meanwhile, 10 per cent of respondents said they like men with tattoos, and seven per cent were fans of piercings.

The findings suggest that instead of spending billions each year trying to reverse or cure their hair loss, men experiencing male pattern baldness could simply embrace it, and shave their heads.
Tom Simons, 45, from Tonbridge, Kent, said he started losing his hair when he was in his mid-30s – and hasn’t looked back.
‘At first I was horrified and started wearing hats and even considered a wig,’ he said.
‘But in the end a female friend told me to just “be bald and proud”, so I did – and I’ve not looked back.
‘There is a certain confidence being bald gives you – I can’t say why, but I definitely get chatted up more since I got rid of the hat.’
