doing half ups can let you leave most of your hair down while protecting your canopy, and you can also leave a deep treatment in the canopy part while its bunned up.
i've pretty much accepted my hair as it is, and i now love the straighter pieces just as much as i love the curlier ones, but what i used to do when i wasnt so okay with it is gather the pieces of the canopy that just arent looking right or curly enough and put them in little braids, or, take them and weave them down through the rest of the hair and pin them to your scalp underneath so they are hiding underneath all of the rest of your hair. you might have to practice a little to make it perfect, but i was always really happy with that method when i would do it, like magic, those pieces just werent there anymore!
also, i just discovered this trick recently~ as an extra deep treat, try putting conditioner into your dry hair!
and have you tried jojoba oil on your canopy? honey has also worked for me.
