As Michel pointed out "pagesize 0" will also set the heading off. In cases where you would like the heading just once and you do not have too large a result set just set the pagesize 9999 (larger than the output set)

Pagesize 0 is very useful for spooling delimited data files and when reporting via SQLPlus.
