// in HTML: <head id="my-document-head">
var aHead = document.head;

alert(aHead.id); // "my-document-head";

alert( document.head === document.querySelector("head") ); // true

Notes

document.head is read-only. Trying to assign a value to this property will fail silently or, when in ECMAScript Strict Mode in a Gecko browser, throw a TypeError.
