2. To start moving the front end or part of something into some thing or place. If you head in carefully, I don't think you'll hit the cars on either side of the parking space. Of course I didn't realize the curb jutted out like that—I thought I could head in safely! I hate parallel parking. I can never gauge when I'm supposed to head into the space.
