Surprisingly that's pretty normal . My one almost 2 year old does it and it's like she knows not to hit it hard but tap it enough to do a fake cry and get attention . All you can do is ignore . It's called the head banging syndrome or something like that . When you ignore it I'm told they'll eventually stop .

Yes , I have a little boy who just turned one in July as well and he bangs his head on the wall like you said it's not hard but it was concerning and I did do some research on it and it says they do it for self-comfort ( this is not professional advice)

My daughter did this. Until one day, we were on concrete, and she hurt herself. Not bad, but it hurt more than the wood floors she was used to. She stopped after that.

Imma try to ignore it and see what happens

My son turned one in July as well and is also a head banger, the wall, the floor, my forehead 🥲😂 I try my best to ignore but I have the tendency to say Noo and run to rub his head whole time he’s laughing 🙄

My kid flops his whole body to the floor or will just ram himself into the wall 😂 I ignore him and when he sees I’m not paying attention to him he just stops lol

Yea my 2 youngest sons were doing the same thing and they were diagnosed with autism. Not saying your child has it but I thought it was normal until I noticed other sensory seeking activities when they weren’t having a tantrum. Just something to ask about.
