(You can see in the second picture one of her ears doesn't fit into the spot for it in her hair like the other one does).

Any tips on how to remove it and reattach it?

Drop the head in a mug of boiling hot water and let it soak for about 3 to 4 min, and slowly and gently pull it away from the head sculpt. I usually grip the hair piece by the thicker parts on the back so there's no danger of tearing the bangs in the front. Carefully use a hobby knife or a straight razor to separate the head from the hair piece in places where the glue doesn't come apart, and above all else take your time while doing it. Don't be afraid to re-soak the head in the hot water as you are doing this if needed.

As for reassembling the hair piece, usually hot glue or crazy glue will work best. I prefer Crazy Glue. You do not need to soak the scalp with the Crazy Glue, but you do want to take your time and examine where the contact points are so you know where it's best to place the glue when you reattach the hairpiece. One placed onto the head, slide it around until it sits as desired and let it bond before attempting to place it back on the body.
