Hair Care company Head & Shoulders has taken out a $1 million insurance policy on US sports star Troy Polamalu’s hair to ensure his trademark locks do not get damaged during the upcoming NFL season.
The company made the announcement about Polamalu, who plays American football with the Pittsburgh Steelers, yesterday, noting that it was the first time in history that an insurance policy of this type had been ordered, reported FOXNews.com.
According to a press release from Head & Shoulders, his hair is so thick that end to end it spans 1,100 football fields and can hold approximately 24,062 pound.
Polamalu said:
Head & Shoulders has gone above and beyond by insuring my Samoan locks for a cool $1 million, this reinforces that my full and thick hair is unstoppable.
Polamalu became a spokesman for the company last year. He has not cut his hair in seven years.
