Who Plays Tiny Troy In The New Head & Shoulders Commercial?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

While Head & Shoulders has a number of advertisements in the mix, one of the most interesting ones they've released, at least stateside, features the inner happenings of a beauty salon. There, a woman, who is having her hair washed, is asked by an attendant if she uses Head & Shoulders. "Only when I see flakes, then I switch back to my regular shampoo," she candidly admits, much to the disappointment of her attendant. "You should use it every wash," she's told, "Otherwise the flakes will come back." That's a tough warning. 

Then, a strange voice in the woman's hair pipes up. The attendant then asks if the voice is "Tiny Troy." It turns out that the football superstar and Head & Shoulders ambassador Troy Polamalu is vibing in the woman's hair. After discussing the wonders of the shampoo, we then cut to a lifesize, not "tiny" version of Polamalu sitting in the salon, reading a magazine. It's a short but effective ad, one that conveniently shows off the premise of Head & Shoulders, while leveraging the charisma and star power of Polamalu, who made waves when he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This isn't the only time audiences and prospective "Head & Shoulders" buyers have seen the "Tiny Troy" actor. Polamalu, known for his distinctive and wavy hair, has been promoting the anti-dandruff shampoo for years stateside, appearing as one of the brand's most vocal spokespeople. Head to the Head & Shoulders YouTube channel and you'll find multiple instances of the footballer speaking about the shampoo's power and general effectiveness. Of course, Polamalu isn't the only football who preaches the abilities of Heads & Shoulders, as the "Tiny Troy" shampoo ad features another sports legend.
