Definition
满头 is a noun phrase meaning 'the entire head', but it's almost always used in a descriptive pattern: [something] + 满头 + [noun], meaning that something covers the whole head. Common collocations include 满头白发 (white hair all over the head), 满头大汗 (dripping with sweat), and 满头是汗 (covered in sweat). It's not used as a standalone noun for 'the head itself' — you wouldn't say '我的满头' to mean 'my entire head'.
n.
