Im not sure what your post is trying to say. Your snake has a stuck shed on its body but none on its head?
The reason for a bad shed is incorrect husbandry. You need to get your humidity levels raised so this does not happen in the future. There are several things that could me causing you to have low humidity but Im not gonna guess what it is. Give us more information about your setup and a pic of it would be ideal.
To fix the stuck shed you can boost the humidity and let it to come off on its own.

U can soak ur snake in a small tub with a lid make sure there is air holes for ur snake to breath . Let it sit in there like 10/15 min open the top and gently rub the shed off if u see any on the head or eyes leave it .
And next time ur snake goes in to blue boost ur humidity in the tub/tank u can cover the top u can soak some wash cloths and ball them up and throw them in there u can add a extra water bowl on or by the hot spot . Just get that humidity up . And if it's more dry where u live I recommend a good spray of the enclosure once a week so that ur snake stays good .

Re: Bad shed?
I tried soaking her, boosting the humidity, and shed aid. Her body completely shed but none of her head is shedding, it's not turning white or lifting off so it can peel

I wouldn't worry. If there is an issue with your husbandry, usually results in a stressed snake, and generally a stressed snake will not take food. If he/she is eating regularly/on schedule, then I would just wait until the next shed and monitor temps/humidity carefully.
In general, the next shed will clear up any Issues from the previous shed (caps, dead skin), etc.
