+1. After wrapping up the bar 5-6 times, stop and put the bar ends to make sure it works and you don't need to re-wrap.

For the other idea of just wrapping flush, with no tuck, I thought typical recommendation was just to run a bit double-sided tape at the end of the bar before beginning, especially if you're going to trim off excess overhang.
