Troy Polamalu – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Sun, 09 Jan 2011 05:46:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Troy Polamalu and Donald Trump’s Hair Takes to Twitter With Brett Keisel’s Beard http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-grooming/troy-polamalu-and-donald-trumps-hair-takes-to-twitter-with-brett-keisels-beard http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-grooming/troy-polamalu-and-donald-trumps-hair-takes-to-twitter-with-brett-keisels-beard#comments Tue, 04 Jan 2011 21:47:40 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=17681 Forget New York or Milan, if you’re looking for truly special grooming inspiration start with the multi-talented follicles of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You may remember Troy Polamalu for the $1 million insurance policy Head and Shoulders took out on his locks, but you may not be aware that Polamalu’s hair is so multi-talented that it maintains a Twitter account (@TroysHair) with more than 1900 followers and a Facebook page with more than 1500 fans.

Troy’s hair isn’t the only Steeler with tech savvy tresses. Brett Keisel’s beard (@keiselsbeard) is a little less popular, but also maintains a presence on Twitter and Facebook.

If they can get Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester), Don King and Robert Pattinson’s hair on board, they’ll officially have the hair-brained social media thing locked down. Probably with  more insight than most celebrity tweeters too.

The hair (get it? heir/hair? okay, we’ll stop) to the uniquely coiffed throne beats them all on Twitter though. @Trumps Hair has more than 2600 followers who want to keep up with what’s on top of the Donald’s head.

We always suspected it had a life of its own.

Troy Polamalu Gets a Hair Raising $1 Million to Protect His Locks http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-grooming/troy-polamalu-gets-a-hair-raising-1-million-to-protect-his-locks http://198.46.88.49/mens-style/mens-grooming/troy-polamalu-gets-a-hair-raising-1-million-to-protect-his-locks#respond Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:32:42 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=15614

First Gerard Butler is picked up by L’Oreal to convince men that they’re worth it, now comes news that football player Troy Polamalu has had his 35″ long hair insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders (Polamalu is a spokesperson for the brand). {People via Dlisted} To give you a little perspective on how much more valuable Polamalu is on a follicle to follicle comparison, a pack of 16″ long human hair sells for $70 on Amazon. If you went hair crazy and covered your hair with 20 of those, it would add up to $2800 – or about 3% of what Troy Polamalu’s hair is worth.

We’re as open minded as anyone, but we have to admit that it’s more surprising to hear that the first million dollar head of hair actually belongs to a guy. Sure, Samson had hair of biblical proportions (literally), and there’s no doubting that Polamalu’s hair would even put big hair divas like Diana Ross and Chaka Khan to shame. But how many guys can relate?

While he’d be one helluva after for any company pitching hair growth products, men or women would have to be genetically blessed to replicate Polamalu’s ringlets regardless of what product they use. Plus, it’s been eight years since his last haircut, and we’re guessing there are plenty of moms, sisters and girlfriends who wouldn’t sign off on the guys in their lives taking an eight year sabbatical from the barber shop.

When asked if he’d cut his hair, Polamalu replied”With this big hair insurance–I don’t think so!”

While there are 1 million reasons for him not to, whenever the time comes for him to part with any of his hair, we’d love to see a wig or two (or three, or four) made from his million dollar mane for Locks of Love.
