This is rarely needed, if ever.

Begin by capturing the snake with gloves, snake bag or whatever.

Done! why would a closer grasp of the head be necessary?

Seriously though, it is not something that can be described as well as it can be shown. If you find yourself in the position to need this type of restraint then consult one on one with your veterinarian, vet tech, or another type of animal handler.
