I tape all of my bars, horns and drops, top down. I trim the tape at an angle at the starting point so there won't be a bulge on the first turn and use some electrical tape on the tip to prevent the bar tape from slipping when I start. Once I wrap it, the electrical tape is covered up. I tape forward at the top so my hands make the tape tighter when I grip it.
