Put the first strip of tape on then overlap slightly with the second piece-this lets you use a finger nail to keep it in place while peeling off the backing strip.
Or try peeling the backing tape off then with a hairdryer on HOT, blast the tape for about 20 seconds. This should make the taped surface melt ever so slightly allowing it to grip to the lace.
The other option is stick the tape to your scalp first.
