His teammates appeared to have pulled the classic Jackass head-shave prank on his million-dollar hair -- but Pittsburgh Steelers wrecking ball Troy Polamalu tells TMZ, it was all FAKE ... his locks are still intact.
BONUS: Troy also drops a serious hint about what team he'll sign with once his contract expires next year ... watch the clip!

Being happy where you are at, and getting paid what you think you deserve are two different things. Many people like where they are at, but don't accept less to play there.

Obviously it was fake TMZ, to cut some of Polamalu's hair would be like signing your own death certificate.
