These are great because they're cotton and they don't slip however you wrap/tuck/knot them. The 30" worked for me for lightweight coverage, and the 35/36" was better for doing cool head wrap styles that had some volume and didn't look like chemo style

In education, we say to "put down the rope." If someone is looking for tug-of-war, you don't have to pay along.
