I'm afraid waiting for the shorter layers to catch up is your only option.
Changing your POV might help, if it's possible... You said LOL about accepting your V, and that may be your best path...
I cut a V into my hair intentionally, because it helps with updos. That V aspect helps my hair stay in an updo. Blunt ends funky to me, sticking out of a bun, but I can tuck tapered ends into/under the bun.
