Balancing handstands?

Aight i can do handstands and i have enough strength to walk with my hands but i just can't balance myself, i keep falling to my back.

I know it's not something i can just learn overnight but i don't seem to make any form of progress in handstanding without falling.

Any tips for me to balance handstand?

    I'm a great handstander. I can handstand for long.

    I keep my balance like this: I flex my knees the much I can, and when I feel like I`m falling down, I hold almost all my weight with my fingers. If I still feel like I'm falling, I just walk the way I feel I'm falling :)

    Hope this helps :)

    By the way, while doing that, try straining your stomach muscles :)

    Okay lets see, im a natural handstander i guess lol

    well first it depends, i cant handstand at all if im NOT looking down at the floor when im handstanding.

    i also arch a CRAP load while handstanding.

    so maybe try doing those two things

    when you feel like your going to fall then just squeeze your body muscles and lock your elbows. if your falling onto your back then you must be underarching. i've never fallen on my back once, because i over arch

    idk if this helped, but i tried
