The parting thing may be because of the way the perm rods were rolled. That will probably go away on its own in a short while.

LOL, sorry the blowdryer didn't work for you. But you could try blowing it up real full and them using one of curl defining products I mentioned earlier to kind of pat it back down. Or, you can use the same type of product to let it dry naturally then shake it out a bit. I do not recommend gel. It makes your hair hard and crispy and untouchable. I don't like it when, ehhhh, someone puts their hands in my hair and they won't come out. If you get my drift.
