Starting from the top is not good, you will tear it up with using.

@MutR This is not necessarily true. I have new Ultegra levers on my bars. The hoods each have molded nubs that, when the hood is in place, fit inside shaped slots in the ABS bodies of the levers. If I followed your method, the tape would cover these holes, and the hoods would not sit right. If your way were the "right" way, would Shimano really design one of their top-end components this way? Doubt it.

Very simple, but if you have never wrapped a set this video is very handy in assisting you in getting it done, and have it look good. Thanks Guys !

@josephgaite You're the one who is looking for help on the internet to do the easiest types of maintenance on a bike, retard. What would you do if there was no internet...just sit there in a corner and weep about how you wanted to go ride with your friends but couldn't change your flat tire.

once he his the brake lever, he did it wrong from there. you want to go around the brake lever and start wrapping in the opposite direction on the top of the bars. Reason for this is because the way he demonstrates here, if you were to use the top bars you would be loosening the tape.
