“Your head” simply means the part of your body above your neck—your skull, brain, face, and everything attached to it. When people say it, they’re usually talking about the place where you think, feel, and keep your hair.
In everyday talk, someone might tap their own forehead and say, “I’ve got a headache in my head,” or point to you and joke, “Use your head!” when they want you to think smarter. Friends also say things like, “It’s all in your head” if they think you’re worrying too much, or “Get it out of your head” when they want you to stop thinking about something.
