The size of your flacid penis doesn’t matter. And what do you mean you don’t “have a head”?
P.S. You measure it?

It sounds like your foreskin is a bit too tight, but don’t worry as 9 times out of 10 this problem can be self-treated privately at home. Rarely will a circumcision be necessary.
You need to do some stretching exercises, ideally in the bath/shower, every day for a few weeks. Follow the instructions on this website:
Be patient as it may take up to a month to see any improvement, and be disciplined to do the stretching regularly! If you struggle to make any improvement then ask your doctor for a topical steroid cream to put on the tight foreskin.
This website also has some more general advice:

Likely yes that’s what god has given you at the age of 18. You may have a condition called phimosis and there is a operation to correct the problem. So buck up and go see a doctor.
The frenulum of the penis is a fold of skin on the lower surface of the glans (head) of the penis that connects it with the foreskin. Frenulum breve means short frenulum, and it is easily corrected with a minor surgical procedure, as in your case. But there are other causes of tight foreskin that are not as simple.
If phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin) does not respond to medical therapy, surgical options include circumcision or alternative procedures that relieve the phimosis and preserve the foreskin. The decision about which surgical approach to take should be made by the adolescent in consultation with his surgeon. Although not required, many young men do choose circumcision in these cases. You are quite right that uncircumcised boys need to be taught from an early age to retract their foreskin daily when they bathe or urinate to prevent problems.
