Generally, head size and height do not have a direct correlation. While both traits are influenced by genetics, they are controlled by different sets of genes. Variability in head size does not necessarily indicate a similar variability in height, and vice versa. It's best not to assume one's head size is indicative of their height or other physical attributes.
