Macho type possibly with a name for being hard-headed (2-3)
I believe the answer is:
he-man
'macho type' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with a name for being hard-headed' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'being hard-headed' becomes 'hem' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a' next to 'n' is 'an'.
'an' after 'hem' is 'HE-MAN'.
'possibly' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for he-man that I've seen before include "Masterful male, macho sort" , "Alpha male" , "Extremely virile male" , "Tough guy, doubly male" , "Hunk" .)
