Established by Article I of the Constitution, the Legislative Branch consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which together form the United States Congress. So, the head of the legislative branch is the House and the Senate.
The legislative branch of the US government is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, each of which have their own leader.
The head of the Senate is constitutionally the "President of the Senate" and is always the Vice President of the United States. However, the head that is elected from within the Senate is the President pro tempore while the member with overall control is determined by the majority party, and is the Majority Leader.
The head of the House of Representatives is the Speaker of the House, and is elected from the representatives belonging to the majority party.

If the question refers to the model employed in the United States Congress, there are two answers. Since the U.S. legislative branch, at the federal level, is made up of two houses, each house of Congress has its own leader. These leaders are determined by which political party has the majority of members as of the most recent elections. In the U.S. House of Representatives, the majority party chooses a Speaker Of The House. In the Senate, the majority party selects a Senate Majority Leader. Both the Speaker and the Majority Leader present their legislative agenda to the larger bodies and work to pass bills in support of their agenda. As has often been noted, the process that follows is often messy and subject to conflict, revision and compromise as lawmakers seek to draft bills that can win the necessary votes to pass Congress and be presented for Presidential approval or veto.
The legislative branch has no head per se.
Each chamber has a majority and minority leader elected by their respective bodies.
Further, the Vice President of the United States is charged with duties as President of the Senate, yet only has voting privileges in the case of a tie vote among the members. This is largely an administrative post and is generally occupied by the VP's designee.
Also the House chooses a Speaker, who is always a member of the majority party. Though the Speaker has the privilege to vote, this position is, again, largely occupied by his designee.
