One way is to put plastic wrap between the duct tape and the hair. It doesn't need to stick in back; wrapping it around the head is just to make it harder to work the tape off the mouth. Even with mouth stuffing, I can usually be out of strips over the mouth and able to speak in a minute or two. There is an extra-sticky brand called "Gorilla Tape" that I tried with multiple strips (including diagonals) over a cloth mouth stuffing that was as big as I could possibly manage. It held the stuffing in after five minutes of trying to work it off. Within the first half minute, however, the air seal around the mouth was completely gone, meaning I could make as much unintelligible noise as I could with an ordinary cloth gag.
The plastic wrap also makes it easy to cut the tape in back (preferably with a bandage scissors or other scissors with blunt ends) in the event of emergency. You should have a cutting implement handy. With the mouth completely sealed by tape, if the nose plugs up for any reason, you have a problem. Therefore someone who is tied and tape-gagged with a full snug wrap around the head should NEVER be left alone for more than a few moments.
Another way to do it is to put strips of duct tape over the mouth, touching only skin. Then wrap a less sticky tape around the head such as the clear parcel sealing tape you get at office supply stores. Even if you only use it on skin, duct tape leaves a sticky residue. You could actually use the clear parcel tape over something stuffed in the mouth. I've also found a plastic tape that's between parcel tape and duct tape in stickiness without the residue problem. It can be wrapped around the head without feeling as if you're pulling your hair out when you take it off, yet it sticks pretty well over the mouth.
