The head of a phospholipid is composed of a phosphate group and is typically polar and hydrophilic (water-attracting). It is attached to two hydrophobic fatty acid tails, which repel water. This unique structure allows phospholipids to form the bilayer of cell membranes, with the heads facing outward toward the aqueous environments and the tails oriented inward.
