It depends on how it is used. It can be an adjective meaning-

  1. having a heading or course.
  2. shaped or grown into a head.
  3. having the mentality, personality, emotional control, or quality specified, or possessing a specified number of heads (usually used in combination): a slow-headed student; a two-headed monster.
