Try to keep your crosshairs higher at all times. Most people look down or at chest level, so this is where they shoot when they face an enemy. If you always look up just a little bit, you can get more head shots.
-
2
Burst your fire or use a semi-automatic rifle. You miss more than you hit when spraying in full-auto, especially when aiming at an enemy's head.

Sneak around with silenced weapons. You can always use extra time when trying to get head shots, and you can get this time by sneaking up on enemies.

4
Shoot from the hip when in close. When you're in real close with an enemy, you should shoot from the hip anyway to avoid wasting time aiming down your sights. The auto-aim system seems to favor head shots when shooting from the hip as well. Of course, when you're mid-range or further away, you should always aim down your sights.

5
Use the stopping power and steady aim perks. Stopping power lays in a little extra damage when you connect. Steady aim keeps your crosshairs tighter while running and shooting from the hip. Either one of these perks alone can help you get more head shots, let alone the two combined.

6
Practice as much as possible. There's no way around practice, but you can ensure that you're practicing well. Most people mindlessly play the game, but you can practice with the goal of getting more head shots in mind.
