Nape of Neck and Temple

I am transitioning and hate the nape of my neck and temple. I was told on the forum before that that area is not your natural texture, but geez, I hate it and no matter what I do, it looks like a naturaperm mess. For those transitioning, when does it start looking decent? I really do not want to do the big chop because i have been cutting so much that I feel doing a big chop would not be best being that I am looking for a job right now. Please help

I'm transitioning, and i know what you mean! the nape of my neck has short hairs and they seem to just do what they want to do, while the rest of my hair is ready to look pretty. I worry about the nape when I try to do an updo, but if I wear it down or in a headband, it is covered up so I don't worry.

If it is going to be seen, I pin it up with a bobby pin, so it's stretched out. I'm not sure what the best thing to do with this hair is.

Temple, you mean like the corners of the front of my hair? it seems like since i've started going natural, this area has baby hairs that were never there before. i generally ignore this part also.
