Soap is a triacylglyceride derviative (fat) while detergents are often produced synthetically. The head-group of soap a molecule is usually a carboxylate anion while common detergents often use phosphate or sulfate head-groups (ie Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Soap's effectiveness is greatly affected by the presence of certain minerals in solution such as those typically associated with hard water. Detergents are usually not affected by minerals in solution. The downside to detergents is the fact that most of them are not biodegradable; although some can be chemically modified to allow for degradation by microorganisms usually by the addition of a branched methyl group).
Shampoo is specifically formulated for the hair and scalp, containing ingredients like surfactants, conditioning agents, and fragrances. Soap, on the other hand, is a general cleanser that can be used on the body, face, and hands, but may not be as effective in cleaning the hair or maintaining its health. Additionally, shampoo has a lower pH level compared to soap, which helps to avoid stripping the hair of its natural oils.
