make sure when you are doing floss you have a perfectly smooth underbody and burnish the underbody and the floss.
use only good quality peacock herl. and wind it with the rachus facing the hook point. make sure you have a full section of herl between floss sections. make your spacing equal. use small thread so that you can have a small as head as possible.

when you make your head flatten the thread use tight wraps and lots of coats of polish so you have a smooth head and can't see the thread wraps.
