Do you have nerves in your head?

Yes and no. There are nerves that innervate your skin and bones and meningeal coverings as well as the nerves that convey all of the input from your special sense organs but there are no "proper" nerves in your brain.

Like if you were to touch something hot accidentally, you jerk your hand away very quickly. It is because your brain "tells" you it's hot, and not to touch it anymore.
