Few things are more psychologically restrictive than a head harness. They can be used to tie someone down, to pull them around, to gag them, to blindfold them, to restrict their sense of hearing, or simply as part of an outfit - there are dozens of different types, and they tend to be adjustable to make them suitable for use with people of all sizes. They have many similarities to bondage hoods, but while a hood tends to cover the entire face, head harnesses are more commonly comprised of a series of leather straps held together by metal hardware and fastened with buckles.

What is a head harness? 

A head harness is series of straps that encase the head, giving a sense of restriction without completely covering the whole face. Often used in pony play as part of a horse-like bridle.

How to use a head harness safely

Any item of equipment used around the face must be placed carefully. Be careful not to over tighten straps and if the wearer is in any discomfort at all remove the harness straight away. Make sure the straps don’t slip and constrict the neck or lie over the nostrils or mouth to prevent accidental choking.

Why use a head harness?

This kind of harness is really good for someone who wants to restrict vision or hearing without having a hood or a mask that covers their whole faces. As ear muffs and blindfolds can easily be used in conjunction with a head harness. Also, gags can be used if the wearer so desires. It’s also very good for pony play, being able to incorporate a bit and even a plume or horsehair mane.

What can you use with a head harness?

So many other pieces of bondage equipment can be used with a head harness. You could carry on the restriction by wearing a body harness too. You could work with sensory deprivation removing sight with a blindfold, speech with a gag and hearing with some form of ear muffs. This kind of harness is very adaptable and can be used easily without getting in the way of other play equipment.

Muzzle gags are designed to prevent animals from using their mouths - and submissives can benefit from the same effect! Muzzle gags don't usually remove the wearer's ability to speak, but rather cage around the mouth and jaw just like a dog's muzzle. This means they can still communicate, but they're prevented from making their own choices about what goes in and out of their mouths, and muzzle gags are a powerful symbol of being under someone else's control, too. Some are designed with openable 'hatches' that the dominant partner can unclip to slip in some food or drink, a cock or anything else that strikes their fancy. For obvious reasons, they're especially popular amongst people who are into puppy play.
A bondage hood both looks intimidating and is very effective for any kind of head bondage. Most often they are made from leather, latex, rubber and PVC, bondage hoods can be worn as an accessory as well as for BDSM scenes. Comfortable to wear for a long time, a bondage hood can also be made to be very uncomfortable! Ideal for breathplay and sensory deprivation a bondage hood is a multi-use item that you can use in all kinds of different scenes. There are even hoods designed for pet play, if your sub is a puppy, pony or kitty, you can find a hood to fit their personality.
Gags come in many shapes and sizes. Funnel gags are not amongst the most common types, but they're invaluable to people who are into a few specific kinks. The most obvious of these is water sports, as a funnel gag makes some parts of that kink easier to practice! Those involved in feedism and fat fetishism also sometimes enjoy using them as part of the weight gain aspects of their kink. If you'd like to experiment with funnel gags, make sure to buy quality and experiment first--you could choke a sub if you make a mistake, so do your research and practice with care.
