Permed edges but the rest is natural...Help??

After years of perming my hair started having severe breakage, so all of the perm had to be cut out. Gradually all of it was and I was FULLY natural. Then as the summers came around my mom insisted my edges AT LEAST be permed so they wouldn't "sweat out" (I saw no problem with it at the time.) Then as I came to college I realized I wanted to embrace my natural hair, but I soon realized the edges of my hair didn't exactly match the rest of it. I've tried the TnC, are there other options to blend the two textures?

Part of the front of my hair is heat damaged so until it grows long enough where I can cut it, I have been doing flat twist in the front and the rest of hair in regular 2-strand twists. It really blends well and doesnt look as straight if I were to only do it in 2-strand twists.

Okay that sounds like it might work for me I'll have to learn how to flat twist though lol.

Any other suggestions??
