SPORTS SHORTS Tackling Hair Care

(NAPSI)-If you think your hair takes a beating, consider the football player who spends most of his time wearing a helmet. That's one reason many football players keep their hair short-but not Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu. He considers his hair his trademark and a tribute to his Samoan roots. Even so, he realizes that playing football and having long hair may require some extra work. "Between my intense practices and rigorous workout routine, my hair takes a good beating," said Polamalu. "I need to keep my hair in great shape, and I know that starts with a shampoo that takes care of your scalp, such as Head & Shoulders. A healthy scalp means great-looking hair." Serving as the official spokesperson for Head & Shoulders has made it easier for Polamalu to keep his hair in great shape during football season. Well known for its dandruff-fighting properties, the shampoo offers distinct scalp and hair benefits, including relief from itchiness, dryness and irritation, to produce healthy-looking hair.

Helmet wearing, perspiration and multiple washings subject Troy Polamalu's hair to extreme conditions that could wear it out were it not for his careful grooming rituals and products. Word Count: 206 Copy/Paste HTML Article
