1) Use polygonal lasso tool - zoom in close and make a precise selection. You're using straight lines, but when zoomed out they will look like curves. When you select the head, cut a fraction of the hair border off -- this will ensure there's no glowing line around your head.
2) When your selection is complete, copy and paste it into the Photoshop window with the body picture. This will create a Head layer that you can move around and edit.
3) If the head is too big or small compared to the body, use the Move tool. Make sure "Show bounding box" is checked (at the top left, near File/Edit menus). You will see a box around the Head; drag the corners while holding Shift key to maintain the same proportions while you resize.
4) From there it's about making the head color/lighting/sharpness/etc match the body's.
-Use Levels to mess with contrast. Play around with the sliders and you'll figure it out.
-Use Hue/Saturation to mess with colors. You can try using Curves but that's tougher.
-Use other tools like Eraser, Clone Stamp to do the finishing touches.
5) I gave you simple instructions. It takes a lot of Photoshop talent to convincingly merge head with body...

You need both images up. Both images have to be the same size in resolution. Somehow, with the lasso or magic wand tool, cut out the shape of the head. Then with the move tool, grab the head and move it over to the other picture. You can change its size and shape on the combined photo. Then hit End. You can flatten image in layers to make it a one layer pic. Voila.
