The long strip is made between the ears in the middle, i.e. 5 sc from the ear.
Insert the needle into the head (it doesn’t matter where exactly), pull it out between the 20th-21st row, insert the needle between the 12th-13th row and pull it out through 1 sc to the left of the long strip between the 14th-15th row, insert the needle between the 18th-19th row and pull it out through 3 sc to the right (i.e. through 1 sc to the right of the long strip), insert the needle between the 12th-13th row, pull it out in the same place where the needle was initially inserted, tie and hide the threads in the head.
See the video on how to design the head for more details.
