Yoga Hairstyles that you have to put in and take out to lie on your back are a nuisance, no matter how many oms you've done. A top knot is the archenemy of the headstand. What you want is a look that not even Karnapidasana can ruin.
What the experts say: "Sometimes a ponytail can be tough, because when you are supine, it won't allow the head to lay flat in alignment with the spine," says Mandy Inger, author of the book "Yogalosophy." "Or if you're doing headstands, a bun or high ponytail can get in the way. A crown braid definitely looks great for headstands ... and any other postures."
The look: Crown braid
Try it:
1. Begin your braid (reverse or French) at a section near your ear. Be sure to keep your hair in the direction of the braid as you go.
2. From your ear, braid over the front of your hair, toward the opposite ear, behind your head and around to where you began.
3. Once you reach the point where you started, braid your hair normally down through to the ends.
4. Overlap the remaining section of your hair onto your crown braid, and then secure with bobby pins.
