Troy Polamalu was a spokesperson for Head & Shoulders shampoo during his playing days. The company even took out a record-breaking insurance policy on his hair to protect their investment, according to The Huffington Post. In 2019, the Steelers legend once again had his number called to star in commercials for the company, but this time it was opposite a young talent.

Head & Shoulders had Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his curly hair as a representative, and they brought back Polamalu as his on-screen counterpart. The brand released a commercial in 2019 which saw Mahomes and Polamalu argue over whether it was more important to be on the defense or offense when battling dandruff. A year later, the duo appeared in a follow-up ad series that saw them battling over who could "Take It Up To 100" the most.

Speaking to Bleacher Report about the commercials, the always humble Hall of Fame player deferred to the young quarterback, "When we filmed that last commercial, I told Pat, 'I'm just riding your coattails, man.'"

During that campaign, Polamalu petitioned Madden NFL to update their video game and allow hair rankings. When describing the message behind the commercials, the tenacious defensive icon told Bleacher Report, "It's really just giving 100 percent and taking advantage of every day and really trying to be your best self every day ... To me, that's what taking it to 100 means."
