Though different heading tags represent the texts in different sizes, but you shouldn't use heading tags for text's size issue. The heading tags should be used depending on the importance of the text. For example the title of a post/article should go inside the <h1> and </h1>tags. Similarly, the sub-heading basically the second most important title of an article should go inside the <h2> and </h2> tags.

When you will keep some text inside the <h1> and </h1> tags, then the search engine will recognize the text as the most important text. So, heading tags are used for SEO purpose. But all the text should not go inside the header tags.

Only the important texts like keywords may go inside the heading tags.
