How to transfer WordPress Admin Bar "current user Avatar + dropdown menu" in header.php

Hi, I would like to transfer the users avatar and drop down menu functionalities to the header.php file so that I can disable the admin bar but have the functionality in the menu area of my website.

What I know so far: The "class-wp-admin-bar.php" file "see (line 436) renders the admin bar and I can see the functions that renders the user avatar and the "howdy" message.

I also know that the function "wp_footer()" located in the footer.php file, is a hook that activates the calls some function that renders the admin bar.

All i need is just the user profile menu as stated above to shop up in the header area of the theme with the functionalities it currently has.

Thanks in advance for your help.
