After a couple of requests, here's some info on head/neck training which is far from exhaustive, so feel free to comment with more exercises, links, etc.
I also mainly focus on bodyweight stuff, I've never used a harness though I've seen boxers and others do that, so whoever is knowledgeable there post up below.
First, most people don't train their neck, so the theme here is to start slow and:
One thing you can do to start off is just lean back with your head against a wall as if you were doing a neck bridge, similar positioning to the rotations here against the wall. Then you can start the low bridge slide on the floor to get some movement and resistance while still having support with your hands, no need to actually do the real low bridge rotations unless you're interested. Here's the full workout with descriptions of the above exercises, and I posted the main video below:

You can also work on headstands, scroll down on this workout till you hit the "Gatherings" section. I would recommend just the beginner and intermediate ones, unless you already have a decent handstand for the advanced. Here's the full workout with descriptions of the above exercises, and I posted the main video below:
