I am adding a my header view to 

  self.tableView.tableHeaderView=headerView;

This tableView has 10 cells.

I want to disable the cell Selection but, headerView touch events must be enabled.

To achieve this I added the following code:

self.tableView.userInteractionDisabled=YES;
self.headerView.userInteractionDisabled=NO;
self.headerView.exclusiveTouch=YES;

Where I am wrong?

Basic idea of implementation is , If headerView is enabled then cell selection is disabled and vice-versa.

    I’m not sure that I completely understand what you are asking, but if you want to avoid seeing any cell highlighting set the UITableViewCell selectionStyle to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone. That’s what I do, and then don’t implement the UITableViewDelegate method tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:.

    I’ve never tried it, but I’m pretty sure you can also disallow the selection of any rows by setting the UITableView property allowsSelection to NO.

    The userInteractionDisabled property of the table view should be set to NO. Otherwise your headerView, which is a subview of tableView, will not get touch events. Setting a superview’s userInteractionDisabled property to no disables touch events for all of its subviews.
