When your baby is very small, a newborn baby, you can wash your head with the same soap you use to wash your body. With special care that soap does not go in his eyes.

You have to wash your head with your fingertips as if you were stroking it.

You have to wash the baby's face only with the water you use in the bathtub, do not use any kind of soap. You can use a cotton or gauze and moisten it with the warm water of the bathtub and pass it gently and without any pressure on your forehead, your cheeks and neck to remove the dirt caused by your sweat.
