Being an athlete means focus and discipline are part of daily life. Whether it’s time for a workout, a practice session or a fierce game, hair distractions have no place in sports. That’s why TIY spent two years developing and testing the best hair ties for athletes. 

Own your power and let your strength shine with custom hair ties for any hair type, length and texture. The concept behind TIY hair ties is simple — cut your hair tie to the perfect length for your style, then tie a one-loop, two-loop or four-loop hair tie and lock that mane in place, no matter what.

Sporty Hairstyles

Sports hairstyles need to be functional before all else, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. Match our color options to your team uniform or create your own signature look to stand out from the rest. Those with short hair can benefit from a custom TIY hair tie headband, while a hair tie bracelet means you’ll always be ready for action.     

Athlete Hairstyles

It’s no secret that athlete hairstyles need to withstand intense conditions without budging. Whatever your hair type, there are plenty of great options to keep those tresses out of your eyes and out of your mind. TIY hair ties are manufactured with a high-quality elastomer core. That means our hair ties provide maximum hold without stretching out or damaging your hair.
