One in five British men suffering from hair loss wish for ‘Jedward’ like hair rather than something more traditional, according to new research out today.

In a poll of 1,200 men, almost a quarter admired the X Factor finalists’ hair, who closely followed Twilight star and current man of the moment, Robert Pattinson, in taking the number one slot, with an impressive 26 per cent.

The survey to find the most sought-after male celebrity hairstyles was conducted by Optima Hair Specialists, who create bespoke advanced hair replacement systems for both men and women suffering from hair loss.

Reality stars John and Edward Grimes came second in the poll, beating David Beckham and Jungle Jordan’s ex – Peter Andre.

Peter Murtha, founder of Optima, said: “In the past, we’ve found men have often opted for more conservative styles; however, attitudes certainly seem to be changing.

“Men are realising that they can have a bit of fun with their hair and follow current celebrity styles. The trend is reflected in our customers, who are getting a lot braver with their requests.”

Peter added: “One in three men are bald by the time they are 60 and many start losing their hair from their late teens – I myself had lost all my hair by the age of 23. With statistics like these, it’s no surprise we’re seeing a change in men’s attitudes towards their hair. We’ve seen a steady increase in the number of men opting for more creative styles, particularly from our younger customers.”

The poll of 1,200 men* across the UK revealed the following top 10 ‘wish list’ of male celebrity haircuts:

Celebrity                                             Percentage of votes
1.     Robert Pattinson                         26%
2.     Jedward                                        20%

7.     Mark Owen                                 6%
