A man with a ponytail is the biggest turn-off for women looking for love online.
A poll of 2,000 men and women actively looking for love online revealed the top five turn ons and turn offs for both men and women - and the best and worst hairstyles to have if you want to be lucky in love.
It revealed what women don’t want when it comes to hairstyles in potential partners - with ponytails, like former Arsenal legend David Seaman, or more recently David Beckham, the biggest turn off.
When it came to female hair-dos, men favoured blondes over brunettes - and hated short hair and ‘obvious hair extensions’, according to the poll by hair product Fudge Urban Matte Head Master.

Claire Cavendish, 25, of Eastbourne, East Sussex, said: “If I see a guy with a ponytail of a top knot on my dating profile I’ll get rid of him straight away.
“I won’t even look at his profile, I just do not ever want to have to sit down for a drink with a guy who looks so ridiculous.”
Adam Hendry, 31, of Chesham, Bucks, said: “To be honest, I’m pretty much interested in any woman who is interested in me.
