I've used small diameter shrink tubing to form ends on brake cables and shrink it with a butane lighter but I've never used it as the finishing "tape" for bar wrap.
The original tubing size is 1". I would not want to use any hair dryer on my hair that would also get hot enough to shrink this tubing. It begins to shrink at a temp of around 100C (Thats 212 F!!!!!! LOL).
