Pittsburgh, Aug 31, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Pittsburgh Steelers player Troy Polamalu is making headlines lately for reasons other than his sporting prowess. The much-acclaimed player might now have one of the most expensive hair all across the world as his hair has been insured by the hair care provider Heads and Shoulders which is part of an endorsement deal. The initiative has supposedly been taken by the shampoo company to make sure that the flowing locks of the player which are become synonymous to his personality do not suffer any damage in the National Football League season.

The announcement that Troy Polamalu’s hair has been insured with a whopping $1 million dollar insurance police was made on Monday by Head and Shoulders while it was also highlighted that this was the very first time in the history of NFL that an insurance of this kind has actually materialized. The hair care company issued a press release that revealed the hair of the Pittsburgh Steelers safety was so thick that it could cover an estimated 1,100 football fields and at the same time is also capable of holding approximately 24,062 pounds. The 29-year-old noted player who has not cut his hair in the past seven years, signed a deal with Head and Shoulders last year.

It hardly comes as a surprise that the new initiative by the shampoo company has been welcomed by Troy Polamalu who has divulged that the ‘Head and Shoulders had gone above and beyond’ by insuring his locks for $1 million dollars. It is believed that the Pittsburgh Steelers safety wears his hair as a homage to his Samoan heritage.
