Troy Polamalu, 29, is a hard-hitting defender for the Pittsburg Steelers.
On the football field he has attained the highest honors, twice winning the Super Bowl with the Steelers and being selected for the annual NFL all-star game five times in a row.
But Polamalu, who was born in the US but is of Samoan decent, is rapidly gaining recognition for something other than his athletic abilities- his amazingly big and long hair.
It is 3ft long, frizzy and he claims not to have cut it in TEN years. And those flowing locks stick out prominently from beneath the crash helmet Polamalu wears during games.
After a series of popular TV advertisements promoting Head & Shoulders, P&G have decided to take out a $1 million to create the first ever insurance policy to protect his iconic mane for the entire NFL season
Polamalu’s hair has been used to halt him in his tracks in gridiron many times, most famously when Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson yanked his ponytail after he intercepted a pass four years ago.
Neither Lloyd’s nor Procter & Gamble provided details of exactly what damage to his hair would trigger a claim on the insurance policy (LOL).
