Headshot Hair Placement Edit

I have two high-resolution professional headshots. In photo 2 I love my smile and expression, but my hair is tucked behind my shoulder. Photo 1 shows the hairstyle I actually want, with the hair resting naturally in front of my right shoulder.

Your task is to merge the best of both shots so that photo 2 keeps its original lighting, skin tone, wardrobe detail and sharpness while the hair matches photo 1 as closely as possible. Exact hairstyle replication is the priority; it needs to look like it was shot that way in-camera, not composited. Natural shadows, fly-aways and subtle color variations should remain intact so nothing looks pasted on or airbrushed.

I’m flexible on the software you use—Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or any professional tool you prefer—so long as the final file meets these requirements:

• Two final formats: a high-resolution PNG/TIFF for print and a web-optimized JPEG for online profiles
• No visible artifacts or edge halos at 100% zoom
• Color profile and dimensions unchanged from the original file

Please let me know if you need any additional information or reference layers before you start. I’ll provide both JPEG originals as soon as we begin.
