Don't beat yourself up. Like mcbush, when LO would get so mad that he banged his head he wouldn't let me hold him, either. He just needed to scream and get it out. Sometimes, too, my LO will get really worked up then seem to forget about why and need me to step in and help him calm down. It's hard to know, still, which situation is which. If I try to comfort him and he gets angrier then I step away.
If you feel like he's doing a lot of headbanging, it may be worthwhile to have a designated "tantrum spot" where you layer up some blankets and pillows. This is what we do, and we will just carry LO over, lay him down, and let him work it out in a cushioned environment til he's ready for comfort and/or playing.
