Flip yourself back a little more. I had the issue too, until I realized that I was leaning forward into my hands. Try straightening out your entire body by leaning back a bit more.

lol I have a friend that is the same way, its quite funny to watch >.<
if your legs are not straight, is it a matter of commitment?
maybe focus on keeping your back straight and thinking about your vertical alignment.

practice a handstand then keeping ur legs straight on a cartwheel is easy compared to doing it in a handstand
