underwrap
Protective inner binding
Underwrap is a layer of material applied beneath another wrapping—tape under athletic bandaging, protective film under gift wrap, or base coating under decorative covering.
In hair styling, underwrap refers to the technique of wrapping hair under rather than over the roller.
The term appears in various trades where layered wrapping matters: Apply the underwrap before the compression bandage.
