Can I use athletic tape instead of Prewrap?

Question

I need pre wrap but I can only buy it at walgreens and walgreens only has athletic tape. Is there a difference?

THanks!

Answer 1

If it's for hair, don't put tape in your hair!!!!  It will cause a huge mess and will hurt getting out.  Pre-wrap has no stickiness, but tape is very sticky.  

Answer 2

pre wrap goes on before the tape.   the pre wrap isn't sticky.  it protects you from the sticky stuff in the tape.  if you use the tape without the pre wrap, you'll get all that gross sticky stuff on you and it will pull out all your hair...
