erm couldn't tell lol
#1 Use layer, and the brush with softness, enlarge it up a bit and fade close to the hair line
select the mask and use the gausian blur on it ... Might work, might need a bit of playing.
#2 with head pic and on original background, use the threshold to isolate, and a gausian to soften copy that as the mask and then merge. copy the lot and paste as a new layer...
Not that you need it much, seems ok on this monitor with what you've done.

The spiky hair on top looks slightly odd too. Honestly you can't really tell unless you look hard and know already you've added his head! Can you link to the originals? Maybe someone might be able to do a better cut and shut

Not touched the spikes! if you look there is a halo around the head. I essentially cut out around the head, just a little bit away form it, then resized the head and dropped it in.

I've had a go. I've cut out her face instead, inside the hairline. There is less difference in the way she's looking and angle of her head. There is some stray hair that needs cloning out and also you have to be careful under the chin. I did try cutting outside the hair and all round but that wasn't convincing at all!
Same as you went for his head...
See what you think - 10mins work.
I messed up the forehead a little (sorry) on the first so redid for the second...
Used your two pictures, copied the first onto the second as a layer.
Changed the layer transparency to 50%
Moved the layer so the head is in the right place
Added a mask (transparent)
Used a brush, circle fade, set to around 2 on size, replicating at 1 (brush slider) to paint in the head.
Skimmed close to neck to the chin left side.
Right side skimmed to jawline (matched beneath so neck still looks good).
Background area probably would need to be faded/blurred - might show on a print, but on the screen here it seems to match well.
