Floppy head
How do you keep the head from flopping around?
The hair is so heavy the head won’t stay up.

Hi Kimmoffit,
You can sew around the head twice when sewing the head to the body, this helps making it less floppy. Also, you could choose to use a pipe cleaner that you insert from body to head to keep it stable. Do keep in mind to secure the ends by twisting them and wrapping with a bit of tape.
I hope this helps!
Another idea is to use felt. I had some left over, cut 4" x 4" square, rolled it up in a tube and inserted it as a "neck." Soft and safe for kids but still helps stabilize the heavy head.
