I need to know how to replace my head gaskets, does it require me to take my cylinder head out or not?

About once a month I have to put a gallon of 50/50 mixture of coolant in my radiator, there are no leaks on the ground and I believe its being combusted but yet there no white smoke coming out of my tailpipes except for when I turn it on in the morning for the first minute or two.

Rent a cooling pressure tester at a rental place and do it yourself

It doesn't matter the headgasket has to be replaced if its leaking there-could also be a cracked head or block-
