Is a wig the only answer? Kinda long

[QueenFee]

As some of you ladies know I am transitioning and trying to grow my edges back, it hasn't been easy. I've been wearing a ponytail or bun with my hair part down the middle in effort to protect my edges from gel and other things but it seems that has been making it worse. I tried a braid out today and it just doesn't work the same as it would if my entire head was natural, Right now my hair is BSL, the whole back of my head is 100% natural but the front has about 6 or so inches of heat damaged hair, could be less because I got mad and cut the little tails off of my plats last night. When I unbraid the front it looks a hot asz mess! there is my natural hair which is thick VS my HD hair which is thin and just hangs off the ends of my natural hair.

I've been trying so hard to wait it out because I don't want to cut it all off and have a mullet...This is becoming depressing because I start work next week and I DO NOT want to continue walking around with the very style that is further damaging my hair but at the same time I will look like a fool with a braid out.As for wigs, it's been a miss with me since my face is so skinny, it's difficult to find something that doesn't make me look like a fool. Any suggestions?

How about flat twists? You could then leave the front twisted and take the back out and have a cute and professional looking half twist out. Re-twist the back at night and tie down. With this look you can also wear cute colorful head bands if you don't feel comfortable with your hairline showing.
