judging from the photo, just re-wrap the tape in opposite direction, so when you move your hands on the bar it won’t be unwrapping

Start from the bottom and keep a very tight wrap till you finish and tape the end and use bar ends

YouTube tells me that you have to wrap it counter the force you’re applying to the bars .. so that doesn’t happen.

Start at the bar end and wrap towards the center

Watch a YouTube video or two and don’t smoke meth before you wrap it

Most bar tape is made to have each turn overlap almost 50% over the previous one. The package usually tells you by how much. When doing bends, default to having more overlap, not less.
Start from the end of each side, wrap a few tight turns, push the bar end in to protect your start, then wrap patiently. Tight is good, but don’t pull the loose part like a rope.
Tape the end with the provided tape, it should be very sticky and very stretchy – don’t stretch it too much yourself, that’s how it will manage the inevitable movement without unsticking in the future.
About wrapping direction: your grip when riding should be encouraging it to tighten/hold in place. If you’re in the hoods a lot, that’s probably a counter-clockwise start on the left, and clockwise on the right. If you’re on top of the bars a lot, it’s likely the other way. We usually roll our hands the way our thumbs end up pointing during a long ride, and this should be the way the tape is wrapped. Outside if the thumb is on top, inside if it’s down.

There are probably about 100 videos on how to wrap bar tape in every conceivable way, watch one.

My advice for wrapping bar tape is to buy flat bars and grips so you don’t have to wrap bar tape… My real answer is, just watch a YouTube video on how to do it. It will take some time and a few tries before you get it right.
