It looks like an onion (kinda). Let's see if I can explain this, so that it makes some kind of sense.... A clove of garlic is one of the little "buds" inside of a head of garlic. The garlic head itself contains all the little cloves. The garlic head has the papery outside that covers all the fresh little cloves of garlic. Some people cut a little off of the top of a garlic head and roast the whole thing in the oven. The cloves are soft and mushy, then.
There is also a barbeque sauce that is called "Garlic Head", but that's a brand name.

One Head of Garlic means One Whole Cluster. The whole of it.
Quite often one or two segments are being added to cooking a dish except in Special Recipe as that of yours.
