A two-month experiment, conducted on behalf of hair loss treatment specialists Maximum Hair, has posted two profiles on a variety of popular internet forums.

The photographs used were of the same man - except one was doctored to show him thinning on top and the other with a full head of hair.

Both images, in which the man was dressed identically, said he was looking for love as a successful, professional, 30-year-old male, based in London with interests in sport, music and travel.

The profile showing the man with a full head of hair received 108 responses, compared with 22 received by the page showing him with thinning and receding hair.

Andreas Adamides, chief executive officer of Maximum Hair, said: "People inevitably make judgments based on first visual impressions and it appears that beauty is not only skin deep but that many Britons have follicle foibles.
