TO MAKE PEACE...
Tailor Your Haircut
Choose one that will transition seamlessly with the shape of your incoming curls to make the grow-out process easier. For example, Unilever hairstylist Ursula Stephen suggests that someone with tighter coils go for a short afro style (the round shape of the growing hairs plays well with the round shape of the look), and that someone with flatter waves try a lob (a sharp cut flatters this type of hair, which grows down instead of out).Embrace the Flat Bottom
The lived-in wave (a curl toward the roots with boxier ends) is
having a moment, so girls with a wavier curl pattern are in luck. To
enhance your incoming curls, wrap sections of hair around a two-inch
curling iron, leaving out three inches of your ends. Another pro trick?
Book frequent trims and ask your stylist to texturize ends; it will
soften the difference between the two textures, making the curly top and
straight bottom more visually harmonious.

Get bigger, voluminous hair in seconds with this simple trick:
Go Deep
As your new hair grows in, don't
forget to give some TLC to the older strands, which can be weakened
during the relaxing process, says Hammer. Once a week, apply an
ultra-reparative, deep-conditioning treatment
to the straight parts for 10 minutes to help heal damage, then rinse.
Look for one with strengthening ingredients like vitamin B5, found in Pantene Gold Series Repairing Hair Mask.
