Hair and Clothing in the U.S. Military

Though the military has come a long way in making the armed forces a place for women and people of color, there is still much progress to be made. Women in particular face certain challenges when it comes to keeping their hair and clothing comfortable and not breaking the rules. They need access to products that not only meet regulations but also allow for personal expression and comfort. Our collaboration with Torch Warrior is a testament to our commitment to these incredible women who serve our nation with pride and dedication.

Founded by Haley Marie, a veteran herself, Torch Warrior brings authentic understanding to the needs of military women. Haley's firsthand experience has shaped a brand that truly addresses the specific requirements of women in uniform. Torch Warrior's products are a solution to the everyday challenges faced by servicewomen. From moisture-wicking fabrics to strategically placed pockets, every detail is thoughtfully designed to enhance performance and comfort in the field.

TIY Hair Ties: A Military Woman's Best Friend

For women in the military, especially women of color, hair management can be a significant challenge. Traditional hair ties often fall short, leading to discomfort, breakage, and non-compliance with regulations.

TIY hair ties address these issues head-on:

• Durability: Our ties withstand rigorous physical activity without snapping or losing shape.
• Versatility: They accommodate various hair types and styles, crucial for the diverse women serving our country.
• Comfort: No more headaches or hair damage from overly tight elastics.
• Regulation Compliance: TIY ties help maintain a neat, professional appearance that meets military standards.

We at TIY believe that by partnering with Torch Warrior and holding this giveaway, we are bringing the word of two great solutions to our uniformed women. These are some of the challenges most often reported:

• Strict regulations: Historically, women have had to follow pretty specific and often restrictive hair rules, which limit their styling options and can lead to discomfort or hair damage.
• Hair breakage, headaches, and damage: Wearing tight buns or ponytails all the time can cause hair breakage and even conditions like traction alopecia. Tight hairstyles needed to meet those regulations can lead to headaches and scalp pain.
• Inconsistent enforcement: Some women share that they've been called out for hairstyles that are actually allowed, often because their superiors aren't up-to-date with the latest policy changes.
• Racial disparities: Women with different hair textures, especially women of color, might face extra challenges in meeting hair standards.
• Safety and functionality issues: Thick buns can mess with how well helmets fit, which can be a safety concern.
• Cultural and identity concerns: Some women feel that restrictive hair policies deny them their personal or cultural identity.
• Lack of understanding from male leadership: Many women say that male leaders often don't get or properly enforce the updated hair regulations.
