Troy Polamalu Insures His Hair

If you watch any form of sports, you have probably seen a variety of hairstyles from initials cut into a buzz cut, mowhawks, dreads, braids and more. For one NFL player, his hair is so important that he has taken out an insurance policy on it. Troy Polamalu has insured his hair for $1 million.

Reading this is enough to make folks living paycheck to paycheck wonder what in the world would prompt such action and how much does it cost?. Did Crystal Gail ever think to ensure her gorgeous long hair at all? Either way, the Pittsburg Steelers are getting a ton of press over this insurance policy. According to Polamalu, he hasn’t cut his hair in over 10 years when a coach demanded that he do it and apparently he felt the need to rebel.

In 2006, Troy was tackled by Larry Johnson of the Kansas Chiefs which was a legal tackling method. The question many are asking is how this policy actually work and what happens if something does indeed happen to this million dollar set of locks? While this raises questions as one of the first incidents of hair being insured, it isn’t as odd as most think as Marlene Dietrich’s legs, Keith Richard’s legs and Bruce Springsteen’s vocal chords have all been insured by the same company. Just looking over the various photos of Polamalu, the hair is big, bushy and not very attractive leaving folks to wonder why he would even want the rat’s nest on his head, never mind insure it.
