head to/head for ?
Could some help me dispel my confusion?
I would like to ask what the difference is between "head to" and "head for"?
Except for the two types, I also saw a sentence "This bus is headed downtown"
If I would like to tell people I want to go somewhere, I have three types of ways to use "head", right?
1. head for destination
2. head to destination
3. be headed destination
Thank you for your help.

Head for and head to can be interchanged.
'head for that tree over there" = go to/towards that tree a specific tree
"head for London" = go to/towards London
"head to London" = go to/towards London
To head in the right direction = to go in the right direction. For example catch the correction train on the right platform
to be headed in the right direction. = to be going in the right direction. For example to be walking along the correct side of the street/road to reach your destination.
London ----->Paris: head for Paris:head towards Paris: head in the right direction for Paris: To be headed in the right direction for Paris.
London ----->Paris: head for Paris:head towards Paris: head in the WRONG direction for LONDON: To be headed in the WRONG direction for LONDON.
You can say "I'm heading home/back/East/West/North/South/that way/this way/over there/out etc"
But not "I'm heading London etc" it has to be "I'm heading to/towards London"

In general and very simplified:
1. head for a destination - go in that general direction
2. head to a destination - go to that destination specifically
3. to be headed towards a destination - to be in the process of travelling to that destination
