Right, I see.
Don't worry about the puffiness that's just the effect of blowdrying. With a style like that the way you dry it really can change the whole look. Get yourself some wax if you don't have any. If you don't like it puffy then rough dry it and seperate out a fe pieces round the front ith wax. You could always tuck it behind your ears too if there are side bits that are annoying..it will grow on you (scuse the pun)!!
