The best solution is to override the Django base.html template. Make another base.html template under admin directory. Make an admin directory first if it does not exist. app/admin/base.html.

Add {% block extrahead %} to the overriding template.

{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block javascripts %}
    {{ block.super }}


{% endblock %}

{% block extrahead %}
    
{% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}

    {{ block.super }}
{% endblock %}
