It flattens out into sheet very easily.

Lead is a material that is malleable. Malleability characterizes the extent to which a material may be deformed under compressive stress. In practical terms this describes the material's ability to be formed into a thin sheet by hammering or rolling.

Why is the head of a hammer made from iron why not lead?

The head of a hammer is typically made from iron because iron is stronger and harder than lead. Lead is a softer and less durable metal, so it would not be able to withstand the repetitive impact and pressure that a hammer head is subjected to during use. Using iron ensures that the hammer head is able to effectively drive nails and perform other tasks without becoming distorted or damaged.
