"Abrirle la cabeza a alguien" means to hit someone's head so hard, that it bled. I think "cut his/her head open" is the right expression.

Can't it be too: "tear his/her head"? or hurt?

Ookami, no. "To tear" (vt) es lo que haces con una hoja de papel cuando lo partes con las manos. "He hit him and hurt his head" está bien pero es muy general - le hizo doler la cabeza. |

A proposito, ¿cómo se dice 'openminded' , 'open your mind' o 'closedminded' en español?

"abierto" or "cerrado" is ok.
abrir la cabeza is like open your mind -Tenes que ser más abierto. (accept others opinion) ---------- A: Si no te gusta la música clásica, tenes falta de oído y algún problema psiquico. B: ¡Sos un cerrado! (closeminded) --------- -"El sabio obra y no actua." -Al escuchar esas palabras se abrió la mente/cabeza de Juan.
