One thing you could try is to put a hand towel under your head, and then hold both ends of the hand towel instead of your head. Not only will this give your head some support, but also it will become more noticeable if you were pulling on your neck instead of using your abs, because it is possible to do that without realizing it.
Good luck!
P.S. don't forget to breathe while crunching, otherwise you can end up with an air bubble in your stomach and look pregnant. Seriously-- I've seen it happen.
