Key points: 🎾
For a right hander you must begin wrapping the grip from the very bottom right hand corner of the tennis racquet handle as the handle is nearest you and with the top tip of the racquet furthest away from you.
🎾
To begin wrapping, attach the sticky little section of the over grip onto the handle. Make sure the over grip runs right next to the very bottom edge of the handle but not over the edge at all - so your hand will always touch the over grip and not the base of the handle plus the over grip does not hand over the edge of the handle.
🎾
Keep pressure on the over grip all the way until the end of the wrapping which is when you stick on the tape that fixes the over grip to the handle at the very top of the handle ie before where the handle ends and the racquet frame begins.
🎾
When wrapping the over grip at the beginning you should heavily overlap the grip as you begin to wind as at the bottom of the handle is where your hand will be in contact with the grip to play tennis. 
🎾
As you do this you need to redo the overlapping if there are any wrinkles or in the over grip due to not wrapping firmly enough. The area right towards the base of the handle then will have the most friction so a little movement of the over grip will not be optimal to "grip" the handle and can lead to the over grip coming apart, bunching up etc. due to the wrinkling and/or not overlapping enough.
🎾
As you continue to wrap the over grip up the handle towards the racquet frame you need to overlap quite a bit less to make sure the over grip reaches the end of the handle especially if you use a two handed backhand stroke. In doing this, you need to still overlap enough that the grip will hold in place.
🎾
When you are wrapping the grain or slant of the line the over grip makes as you wind up to the handle needs to be more pronounced and not too much of a straight line because the grain running the base of your index finger and the bottom of the thumb is a strong contributor in aiding how well the grip holds in your hand.
🎾
When you end the wrapping the over grip needs to be fixed by the sticking tape and really press the tape down firmly as you attach the over grip to the handle even a couple of times after initially sticking it on. Ideally then you place the thick rubber band that should be at the very top of the handle right over the sticking tape to further seal the sticking tape to the over grip and handle.
🎾
Notes on starting: 🎾
Unwind the over grip that you are going to wrap fully by removing everything from it, especially the thin plastic.
🎾
There is usually a thin little cylinder that over grips are wound up on to form the circle they are stored in and the paper to keep the little sticky adhesive square ready to attach the very base of the handle.
🎾
Make sure you find the sticking tape which can sometimes be within the wrapped up over grip initially. Try not to touch the adhesive sticky little spot so that it sticks better to the very edge of the handle.
