The Volleyball Hair Tie: TIY and TKN

Volleyball isn't just a game; it's a dynamic blend of power, precision, and unyielding teamwork. In the intense sand flurry of spikes, digs, and blocks, every player knows that the tiniest distraction can spell the difference between victory and defeat, gold and no medal. Hidden within the pre-game rituals and strategies lies a surprisingly crucial detail—hair.

Ever wonder why it's not a wild mess during the game? The secret lies in advanced sports gear like TIY Hair Ties that keep every strand in perfect place. No slips, no hair headaches, no breaking mid-game.

The women's volleyball community is passionate and meticulous about their hairstyles, crafting a unique blend of fashion and function on the court. Performance goes beyond just physical fitness and skill - it's about stepping onto that court and radiating confidence.

Earlier this month, TIY Products' CEO Andrea Nucete-Elliott interviewed the remarkable TKN Volleyball Team. Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth's candid interview with Andrea Nucete-Elliott, CEO of TIY Products, revealed their deep-seated appreciation for the TIY brand. We talked about the origin and journey of their partnership, the importance of communication, training and mental preparation, their advice for aspiring athletes, and how TIY hair ties are an essential and reliable part of their gear.

Here we discuss how TIY Hair Ties have become a game-changer in the high-stakes world of volleyball, offering players a crucial edge on the court.

The Unshakeable Partnership of Hair and Sport

For volleyball players, attention to detail is part of the game. Kristen and Taryn recognize that every aspect of their preparation matters. They have consistently used TIY products throughout their volleyball careers, appreciating the hair ties' reliability and comfort during intense matches. In the interview, they shared how TIY hair ties are integral to their game-day preparation, ensuring their hair stays secure without any distractions. 

Kristen Nuss notes, "Having a solid ponytail with the hair ties really helps prevent it from sliding down during matches. It's super nice."

Taryn Kloth echoes the sentiment, explaining, "I redo my hair until it feels good because every strand matters, and I want it secure. It's about having a good ponytail and using the hair ties."

Volleyball Hair: More than a Style

Volleyball goes beyond just racking up the score; it's about commanding the court and making your presence felt. Taryn and Kristen of TKN understand the significance of their hairstyles beyond the sartorial. "We prefer doing our own hair, using TIY hair ties. It works well for us, and we trust it to keep our hair in place throughout the game," Taryn emphasizes. An opponent can't read your next move if they're distracted by your hair or lack thereof.

Kristen adds with conviction, "I don't have to worry about my hair getting in my face during matches, thanks to the hair ties. I can focus on the game without having to readjust my hair constantly."

In the interview, Taryn and Kristen touched on the topic of hair maintenance during competitions, discussing how they celebrate their playing anniversary and the importance of feeling confident and prepared with their hair game.

Performance Meets Personalization

In a sport where individual flair enhances collective performance, athletes need products that mirror their versatility. "I even wrap the hair ties around my ankles because they're just so reliable. It's part of our game day routine, and it really works for us," Taryn continues. It's clear that TIY Hair Ties are more than a necessity; they're a trusted component of their ritual.

Kristen Nuss shares her philosophy, "TIY is definitely number one on that list. Always have it on when you go into a game. It just takes away that one little thing that you have to think about."

Getting a glimpse into their game-day preparations offers an exciting peek behind the scenes. Imagine this: their hats, shielding them from the harsh sun, dictate simpler volleyball hairstyles. Yet, it's the TIY hair ties that truly let their personalities shine through, adding a splash of expression to their look!

The Volleyball World Echoes TIY's Resilience

In the volleyball community, TIY Hair Ties are not just optional accessories; they're indispensable tools for professional women athletes. "I've been telling everybody and anybody that'll listen to me about them since 2016. That is how long I have been using them. I love them. I love all the different colors," Taryn explains about the brand. This loyalty speaks volumes about the product's performance.

TIY Hair Ties aren't just accessories; they're the secret weapon of TKN and the team as they rocket toward the 2024 Summer Games, their journey intertwined with vibrant, colorful bands. Swearing by the product's unmatched reliability, they credit it for their laser-focused determination on the game, proving it's more than just a hair tie; it's a game-changer.

Volleyball Hairstyles

Professional beach volleyball players prefer hairstyles that are not only practical but also capable of withstanding the rigors of the game and the elements. The most common styles include the classic ponytail, braids, and buns, each chosen for their ability to keep hair securely in place during intense matches.

Ponytails, with their simplicity and ease, become even more convenient with TIY hair ties, eliminating the need for adjustments during breaks. From simple plaits to elaborate French and Dutch creations, braids offer a stylish solution that keeps your hair securely in place, no matter if the wind’s blowing like crazy or you're diving for that epic save. Whether you're sporting a high bun on the crown or a low one at the nape, they're the perfect fit for tucking under caps and visors with style and ease.

These hairstyles, paired with reliable accessories like TIY Hair Ties, ensure players remain focused on the game, their hair the least of their concerns, blending functionality with a touch of personal style on the sand.

As TKN readies for glory in Paris this summer, they do so with the assurance that their hair—like their training, like their grit—is not just a factor but a powerful asset. TIY has established itself as a companion in their quest for gold, and the volleyball world is echoing the same sentiment.

For those who value style without sacrifice and performance without distraction, it's time to tie up your hair game with TIY. For TKN, for the sport, and for every volleyball enthusiast, it’s a surefire way to secure that winning edge.
