lose one's head
потерять голову, растеряться

And this girl was French, not likely to lose her head, or accept any unlegalized position. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. I) — Девушка эта была француженка, по-видимому, не склонная поступить опрометчиво или согласиться на неузаконенное положение.

She must always have been a cold, self-possessed woman, but it is just with people like that that nature at times plays strange tricks. I am prepared to believe that she lost her head completely. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘A Casual Affair’) — Леди Кастеллан и в ту пору была, вероятно, такой же сдержанной и так же умела владеть собой. Но ведь именно над такими людьми природа порой подшучивает самым неожиданным образом. Видно, она совсем потеряла голову.

Dr. Macphail bent down - he was not a man to lose his head in an emergency - and turned the body over. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Rain’) — Доктор Макфейл нагнулся - он был не из тех, кто теряется в трудную минуту, - и перевернул тело.
