Having written Kadosh Yih'yeh Gadeil Pera Se'ar Rosho" - in Pasuk 5 ? why does the Torah write here "Kadosh Hu la'Hashem"?

1.

Rashi, Targum Onkelos and Targum Yonasan: It extends the Kedushah on to the Nazir's body - which explains why he is not allowed to become Tamei Meis.

2.

Seforno: To teach us that the Nazir is elevated to a higher plane, rendering him fit to issue rulings like leaders of the generation. 1

Seforno: Which is why Elkanah was happy to give his consent, when the angel instructed his wife Chanah, to declare his son Shmuel a Nazir from birth - See Shmuel 1, 1:23.

3)

Why does the Kedushah come first on to the head and then on to the body?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because, although the heart is the physical center of the body, the center of spirituality is the head - and the purpose of Nezirus is to live on a higher plane of spirituality. 1
