"Self-Employed is not a filing status like "Head of Household". Self-employed indicates how you earn your income. If you work for an employer that withholds tax and issues you a W-2, you are an employee. If you are a contractor, and your income is reported on Form(s) 1099-MISC, you are self-employed. You can be self employed and file your return with a status of Head of Household.
