Head is where it starts and the mouth is where it lets out into a body of water like a lake or ocean.

The HEAD of river is the place where the water spends 50% of time flowing downriver, and 50% time flowing up river. This is relevant to a tidal river.

The source of the river is where it starts and the mouth of the river is where it ends. The source of the Mississippi river is in Minnesota. The mouth of the Mississippi river is in Louisiana at the Gulf of Mexico.
