I feel pretty daft asking this but I've searched the forum (and google...) and can't find anything with regards to the fact that when wrapping drop bars the general advice is that there is a change in direction of the tape in the drops to across the top, as shown in this video:

Problem is, when you don't have any brake hoods to cover up your ugly looking wrap around and over, how do you approach it?
Or does it, in reality, make fuck all difference and I should just wrap the whole bar in the same direction i.e. towards the bike?
Advice very much appreciated!
