Hello! Welcome to the forums!

Lines are fairly easy to replace. No need to splice them any of them (look up halyard knot). Measure the length and diameter and then go shopping. For most lines you'll want double braid or yacht braid.

You might get a some better answers if you can give us some more details on what model head you have.

A good book that covers a lot of topics is This Old Boat
