Only on those minted since 1938. From 1913 to early 1938 the coin bore the picture of a Native American chieftain and a buffalo. Before that it carried a portrait of Miss Liberty.

Why does my 2006 liberty nickel have the head to the far left and missing some of its hair?

It's called a Jefferson nickel. The last Liberty Nickels were minted for circulation in 1912, and ALL US coins have the word "Liberty" on them. Did you look at any of the other new Jefferson nickels in your pocket change? The Mint created 2 new designs, one in 2005 only and another in 2006. ALL 2006 and later nickels have the new, forward-facing image of Jefferson.
