1. just make your hair go back and forth, to your own enjoyment...try to use some Megadeth footage as a perfect example and rolemodel
2. bounce and slam into people...expect to get knocked down, and helped back up

if ozzfest is your first concert your going to, i would advise against either. ozzfest can get VIOLENT, like, ive seen people knocked unconcious in those moshpits. so since this is your first metal concert, i would strongly suggest just standing and watching people do it untill you figure it out, and what your comfortable with. also, i dont know if your a guy or a girl, but people dont care what you are in a mosh pit, your getting thrown around just as hard as the people twice your size, whether or not you can handle it. so be prepared. go, have a good time, but untill you know what you are doing, stay out of the mosh pits. headbanging is a little easier, and there are a ton of ways to do it....so once again, WATCH and learn.

headbanging is okay, your first metal concert is ozzfest and you're alking about MOSHING? okay kid, just to warn you, it is very possible to DIE moshing at ozzfest, that is VIOLENT. i would advice you not to. but... i will pass on my knowledge...
get on youtube and look for footage of concerts, that will help a lot.
i'm taking this strait off of wikipedia:
"Headbanging is a type of dance which involves violently shaking the head in time with music, most commonly heavy metal music"(source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headbang)
"Moshing, or slamdancing, is a type of dance characterized by audience members aggressively pushing or slamming into each other"(source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh)
read more of those articles for more help. it's not hard, just a little advice try to do whatever you do with the beat. you may not like the bands playing at ozzfest, but don't let it shy you away from metal/metal concerts. have fun!

Headbanging is like very very forceful nodding with as much waving your hair around as possible.
To mosh, jump around and flail, kick, and wave your fists, hitting as many people as possible. DO NOT FALL OVER and if you do, pick yourself up as quickly as possible. People can suffocate/get trampled while moshing. As long as you don't die (not likely) you should have a great time! =]

in mosh pits, I've seen girls forced to go into them, and then come back without their clothes on. my brother lost his hearing in one ear from being bashed in the ear really hard. Just stand on the outside and watch if you want to stay safe.

Just get into the pit and bounce around and you will figure out both at the same time very quickly
