The survey of 1,000 men aged 25-65 was carried out for The Harley Street Skin Clinic, which treats hair loss.
Its spokesman Dr Aamer Khan said: “Some men find hair loss difficult, if not impossible, to accept and begin to search for a cure.
“But our survey shows baldness suits some and others would be happy to look like them.
“Ten years ago the patients coming to us were in their 50s or 60s but today they are much younger.
“In fact, half of the men surveyed said their hair loss began during their 20s.” Despite approving of the bald looks of some household names, 52 per cent of men said avoiding baldness was important to them.
And 80 per cent said they would rather be overweight than lose their hair.
