A million-dollar hairdo
American football star Troy Polamalu has a price on his head: A $1 million insurance policy on his trademark mane of black ringlets.
Anti-dandruff shampoo brand Head & Shoulders has taken a $1 million Lloyd's of London policy on the locks of the Pittsburgh Steelers' player.
Polamalu, 29, who was born in the United States but is of Samoan descent, says he has not cut his hair since the year 2000.
He has been a spokesman for the Procter & Gamble Co (PG.N) brand for two years. "They've created the first ever insurance policy to protect his iconic mane for the entire NFL season," the company said in a statement.
Polamalu, a five-times Pro Bowl selection, suffered some injuries last year but is back in the game and expected to be the backbone of his side's defence this season.
His hair has come under attack on the field before, with Larry Johnson of the Chiefs tackling Polamalu by the hair in a 2006 game.
No details were given of exactly what damage to his hair would trigger a claim on the insurance policy.
