Shiv doesn't wears the snake on his head but on the neck.
Shiv wears it on the neck because when shiv had taken the poison to not be dead he put in around the neck. The snake that is around its neck was called vasuki who was itself very poisonous

Matsya Purana states when depicting Bhagvan Shiva, the Lord should be garlanded with snakes. Most images of Shiva in modern day only depict a single snake around his neck. The five-headed snake forming a canopy over Shivling is another common representation.
Snakes (Nagas) have been a part of worship in Hinduism from the very beginning. The most famous myth of Lord Shiva’s association with snakes is when he drinks the poison (kalakuda) from Snake Vasuki’s mouth during the churning of ocean to get amrit. From that day, Lord Shiva becomes blue throated and is called Nilakantha.
