Head's idle (4)
I believe the answer is:
loaf
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'head's' is the first definition.
(slang term for the head)
'idle' is the second definition.
(loafing is a kind of idling)
(Other definitions for loaf that I've seen before include "Bread; loiter" , "Piece of bread" , "Head - bread" , "Spend time idly; bread" , "Be idle; something baked" .)
