Some people think the head is the most important part of the body. If people tell you that you "have a good head on your shoulders," they mean you are intelligent or wise. A comment like this makes a person feel proud. When you are proud of yourself, you feel good because you did something well. When you feel proud, you probably hold your head up. That is, you put your shoulders back, raise your chin, and, probably, smile. (Note: you can say "hold up one's head" or "hold one's head up.")
Sometimes you might use this gesture for other reasons. If you want to show others that you are not afraid, or when you are pretending to be unafraid, you might hold up your head. If something bad has happened to you, but you don't want others to know how you feel, you might hold up your head. This is a way to demonstrate courage or bravery under difficult circumstances.
People use this expression to describe someone who has shown courage or someone who has made the best of things. They say, for example, "Joe felt terrible about losing the game, but he held his head up and congratulated the winner."
Feeling ashamed is the opposite of feeling proud. If you do something bad or wrong, and others find out about it, you will probably feel ashamed. To show this, you lower or hang your head.

When you want to say no or to show that you disapprove of something, turn your head from side to side. By shaking your head, you are saying that you are not pleased.
A very common gesture is scratching the head with the fingers or fingernails. People scratch their heads because they itch, of course. But we sometimes scratch our heads when we are confused or are trying to remember something.
Scratching your head can also mean that you are trying to make a decision about something. For example, if someone asks you a question and you're not sure how you want to answer, you might scratch your head while you are thinking. This will indicate that you need a little time before you are ready to answer.
