I don't think head is still something you can use.  
What are you looking for?

So you don't need HEAD to understand elasticsearch.  
You should install Kibana and go to the Developer Console if you want to play with elasticsearch instead of using CURL.

If you are totally new, I'd recommend reading [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html) although it's old, a lot of principles still apply.
