Most attractive facial hair revealed - with moustache ranked last

Stubble is considered the most attractive facial hair style – but moustaches are the biggest turn-off, according to a study. A poll of 2,000 adults who are attracted to men found 55 per cent considered stubble, which actor Chris Hemsworth has been seen rocking, to be the sexiest facial hair option, well ahead of the short beard (24 per cent) and hipster beard (eight per cent). The moustache – which Brad Pitt has been seen donning - was only considered alluring by three per cent, behind the goatee – sported by Leonardo Di Caprio - (seven per cent) and chin strap (four per cent). Professor Tim Andrews, who is working with Wilkinson Sword who commissioned the research, said: “It’s human nature to judge others by their facial appearance and make quick assumptions about their personality, even if these assumptions aren’t always accurate. “Just like women use makeup to enhance their features, men can use facial hair to influence their attractiveness and personality perceptions. Euan Condron, of Wilkinson Sword, added: “It’s been interesting to uncover the impact of facial hair when it comes to what people like and how they feel."
