Seeking tips on putting an IT head on an IT replacement body >>

Using the heating pad:
Got the head off the (yellowing) body without too much trouble.
Any specific tips for putting the head on the IT replacement body?
I've got both the new body and the head on the heating pad.
I've placed the head with its neckhole directly onto the pad's surface.
And I've wrapped the body in the heating pad.
So: Any positioning or other tips for putting the head onto the body?
My initial attempt did not work; the back of the neckhole wouldn't go over the neck.
Any tips appreciated.

I've damaged some hair with the hair dryer method, and hot water does too. Heating pad works for me

My only problem is that long hairdos tend to flatten down - updo heads are best for me to swap.

Not that it matters, but that video was done by Alain Tremblay for Integrity. He is a master at all

Yes, I've seen--and been helped by--many of Alain's great videos. <<

Success! (I'd upload pics, but "upload image" isn't working). Thanks, Mario & John. :) <<

For what it's worth, when that upload doesn't work, I use postimages.org.

Thanks. I’d use Flickr, but for quick stuff, easier to use Upload Image here—when it works, :) <

I use the hair dryer method but wrap the hair in a washcloth. My dryer gets too hot to hold!

Hi Tom, You have to make sure the head is very soft, then place it over >>>
