My DD went through a phase of not liking the bath. As soon as her foot hit the water she'd scream. So I got in the bath one day and got my DH to pass DD to me. Then I slowly put her feet in and she got a bit upset so I lifted her up. Then I slowly put her feet back, up again, etc. Until she was happy with her feet in the water. Then did the same with her legs, belly, etc. Until she was all the water and then we played in the bath. I didn't worry about washing her. Then next time she went straight in with me and happily played and I could wash her. I went in a few more times and then she was happy to be in the bath on her own again. HTH. Good luck.
Probably right off the point here, but DD1 went through similar and it turned out she had really dry skin that we hadnt picked up on..
Check her legs to see if they're dry, if they are we just rubbed on the moisturiser every day constantly (all day) and after a couple of days she was right again!
Maybe no help but thought I would throw it out there!
Everyone else has given the same suggestions I would re: the bath. Can I suggest you put a 'leave in' conditioner in her hair rather than just normal one that would still need to be washed out. We use one for my son as he hates having his hair washed/water over his face, etc. and it is fantastic.
