you can use following to register widget

<?php

register_sidebar(array(
'name' => __( 'Header Widget Area' ),
'id' => 'header-widget',
'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the header.' ),
'before_title' => '<h1>',
'after_title' => '</h1>'
));?>

'description' => 'Appears in Header',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
