about singing higher
firstly,what do you mean by singing higher? higher key, volume? anyway the fact that you said your vocal range is limited, you should work out and polish it first and get your prior objectives right before trying to expend on your singing abilities.
it doesn't mean singing with a wider vocal range will make you a better singer.

Like the above poster have mentioned, having a wide vocal range does not mean you can sing well. Singing is not just about hitting the notes on key.
You should never strain your throat to go higher or lower otherwise you risk permanent damage to your voice. Before you start singing anything, identify your singing voice with the help of an instrument like a keyboard/piano/guitar/etc. C4 is common notation for the middle C. Find the limits of your voice in the modal register (simply put: your 'normal' voice), no falsetto, no whistle, no vocal fry.
If you are a male, you could be a:
Bass: E2-E4 (usually a true bass can even go lower than C2)
Baritone: G2-G4
Tenor: C3-C5
If you are a female, you could be a:
Contralto: F3-F5
Mezzo-Soprano A3-A5
Soprano: C4-C6
Note that above are just expected vocal ranges of the different voices. Many people often can go higher or lower than these stated ranges but still classified under the same type of voice. For example a baritone can go as low as C2 but as high as A4, but he is still classified a baritone (actually bass-baritone) because of his timbre, vocal weight and comfortable range.
To widen your vocal range, first learn how to sing in your comfortable range to grasp the techniques, then attempt the extreme ends. But, for instance, if you are a baritone, you can never sing like a true tenor, and vice-versa. So for starters, you should never attempt to sing like another voice type, or you will risk vocal damage as a result of straining.
Finally, it is a common misconception to think that just because someone can sing higher, he/she has a bigger range of voice. This is untrue because most of the time, the number of high notes Person A can do that Person B can't, is roughly equal to the number of low notes Person B can do that Person A can't. So in that case, both A and B have the same vocal range, but not the same vocal type.

head voice? what?
head voice? and how do you suppose it's possible to produce a sound from the head when its a product of laryngeal function?

i think just work with your comfortable range first.....den after that you can slowly explore.....
adjust the keys of the song according to your voice..
and the best way is to keep recording yourself over and over again and keep listening..., either record the whole song from beginning to end till its perfect...(sometimes can go until 200 times) or line by line using a software like garage band....u will learn how to balance and match each line and it will give u much control
