Lay it on a bathroom scale and have someone else read the readout.
Or weigh yourself note the reading, and do the above with your body supported at the correct level, then weigh just your head. With someone else reading the scale. Then subtract the head reading from main body weight. Now you can subtract the differences and cross reference.
Should be pretty close. Most heads weight around 40 pounds.

Do it the same way as they weigh ships ! fill a bucket to the brim with water, immerse your head in the bucket down to your shoulders catch the water that overflows from the bucket and weigh the water 1 gallon of water weighs 9 lb so if you collect 2 gallons of water your head will weigh 18 lb. ps dont keep your head under water for more than 10 minutes . good luck !

Weigh a bucket of water that's filled to the top and then stick your head in the bucket thus displacing some water and then weigh the bucket again and the difference in weight will be the weight of your head!

You won't believe this, but I actually read how to do this.
It's all down to Archimedes and his principle.
You simply put your head in a bucket of water and weigh the amount that submerging your head displaces. As your head is about 75% water, the weight of the displaced water is about the same as your head.

If you hang upside down from your feet the vertebrae in your neck move apart slightly because of the weight of your head pulling on them.
To weigh your head you must simply lower yourself slowly onto a scale while hanging upside down. You continually observe the distance between the top vertebra of your neck and ...

Um... that's a very weird question. Try lying on some scales with just your head on there and then get someone to tell you how much it weighs.

Your head is about 15% of your body's weight. Unless, of course you think particularly heavy thoughts, then it would be heavier. If you are an airhead, lighter. But 15% otherwise.

Try to perhaps invent head scales and then we can all weight our heads. I would love to know how much it weights. My brain must be quite heavy just answering all yahoo questions!

Find someone with an equally-sized head and weigh theirs instead.
