"always wondered how hard it would be to peel the backing with it on your head.. is it tricky?"3

not at all, its extremely simple. what i do to make it easy, after i apply all the tapes to my lace with the backings on. I just semi peel the tapes.. I do not take the whole tape backing off but i just start to peel it off on one end before i put the system on my head. That way when it is on my head and flipped up, the tape backings come off extremely easily. I make sure to start the pre-peeling starting from the end of the tapes that face towards the front hairline, That way when u are looking at urself in front of a mirror with ur system flipped up, its easy to pull the tapes down and off as opposed to up and off, if u get what i mean. This method i use is the best so far me when it comes to getting a good alignement and attachment.
