Carbonation is only one factor in head formation and retention. Highly carbonated beers to tend to have have greater head formation and retention, but as Revvy says, that is not necessarily true (especially when it comes to retention). I've seen many highly carbonated beers that pour a huge head that fades quickly (some almost like a carbonated soft drink), and I'm not just talking about light lagers. It can happen with any style.
