... com halo de cabelo grisalho, calvo na frente ...
"Head of hair" utilizado desta forma está se referindo exclusivamente à cabeleira, neste caso em forma de ferradura em volta da careca. Creio que no pt seria mais comum referir-se a isto como um "halo" ou "auréola".
Example sentence:
Apesar da cabeça calva com um halo de cabelos brancos, não existe nada de velho nele (link abaixo, parágrafo 5)
Os cabelos fulvos aureolavam aquela cabeça. (Aurélio)
