Say Goodbye to Slipping: The Best Hair Ties for Thin Hair That Actually Stay Put

Thin Hair Deserves a Better Hair Tie

If you have fine or thin hair, chances are you’ve battled with hair ties that stretch out, slip off, or worse—snap your strands. Traditional elastics just don’t cut it. At TIY, we set out to fix that.

Our customizable hair ties are engineered for all hair types—but they’re especially game-changing for anyone with delicate, thinner hair. Lightweight, snug, and damage-free, TIY hair ties are here to give your style real staying power—without the constant adjusting or painful tugging.

Why TIY Works So Well for Thin Hair

A Custom Fit You Control
Every TIY tie starts the same way: untied. That means you get to choose the perfect tightness for your hair—no more guessing or settling for whatever comes in a pack. Whether you need a gentle hold or a snug lock-in, it’s up to you.

Snag-Free, No-Breakage Material
Thin hair is more prone to damage from metal clasps or rough elastics. TIY’s soft, flexible material is totally smooth and clamp-free, so it glides over strands without friction or breakage.

All-Day Hold, No Slipping
Say goodbye to ties that slide out of silky hair. TIY stays put through workouts, errands, Zoom calls, and everything in between. Once it’s in, it’s in—no slipping or stretching out after a few uses.

Styling Thin Hair with TIY

Whether you’re going for practical or playful, here are a few of our favorite styles that work beautifully with thinner hair types:

1. Low Ponytail with a Twist

This classic look gets an upgrade when secured with a subtle pastel TIY. Add a small twist to each side of your head before tying low at the nape of the neck—it’s sleek, stylish, and won’t budge.

2. Sleek French Braids

Thin hair can be ideal for clean, smooth braids. Use a mini TIY or baby loop (as we call it) to tie off the end without overpowering the look. It adds grip without bulk.

3. Half-Up, Half-Down with a Pop of Color

Use a neutral or soft tone (like “Sand” or “Peachy") to secure a half-up style. It keeps your face-framing pieces in place, while adding a cute, color-matched detail.

Style Meets Strength

Let’s be real—most hair ties are either too tight, too weak, or just plain boring. TIY combines form and function:

• Strong enough to hold thin strands without snapping

• Soft enough for all-day comfort

• Stylish enough to wear on your wrist

With dozens of color options, you can coordinate with your outfit or go monochrome. We’re especially loving cool tones like “Eclipse” and “Euphoria” for fine hair—they’re flattering and make styling feel fresh.
