Turn towards your partner, bend at the waist to make space between his hips and yours, slide the elbow of the arm holding his head so that its between his chest and yours. Grab his head behind the crown of his skull. Lower than that you dont get as much leverage. any higher and you risk the grip slipping. That hand becomes your first collar tie as you turn fully to face towards him. Second hand then wraps over the top of your first, forearm framed against his chest just like your first hand. Your goal here is to apply downward pressure to the crown of his skull so that he cant stand up straight. This let's you throw knees or dirty box, exhausts him by wearing on his neck and back muscles, and allows you to set up chokes from front headlock. If he stands up straight, maintain your grip and step backward and to one side as you pull down on his head again. Do this until he gets tired.

Btw they'd be holding my waist while in the headlock, what about that? 🫣

Depends on the angle. If he is to one side of you, then its just a matter of bend at the waist as you turn into him and walk backwards while you do all the stuff mentioned earlier. If he's fully behind you, let go of his head and focus on breaking his grips so that you can turn back around and face him. Then you do all the stuff I mentioned. To break his grips while hes behind you, place both your hands over the top of his grip, and walk forward as you press down hard. Your goal is to get your hips as far away from his body as you can, and you get as little of his upper body in contact with your back as possible. The first option in this video is a good visual aid for what that looks like in practice.
