I havent done this myself...but here is from a how to for something else...
1. Pull the headrest all the way up, then there is a button on one side, push that and you can pull the headrest up about a quarter inch more. Then on the other side, there is a tiny hole
Insert the precision screwdriver into the hole, and push on the screwdriver, and pull up on the headrest at the same time

Yeah you Just press the button in and push them straight up
yes i did the katskin swap on my car and just push the button in on the headrest and it should pop out. There are grooves on the headrest post that the push button uses so once you push it in, it should open the slot so you can pull it out.

If this is in reference to the front seat head rests this must be the stupid quote of the week. The head rest has a particular purpose in the event of an accident. 06cobaltdi DO NOT publicly tell people to remove safety features that are built into the car. CCF members do not make modifications to safety features in your car without first informing yourself of the consequences in the event of an accident.
