Sounds fairly typical to me, for a brew in this style. The sugars tend to be mostly fermentable and it is the unfermentable ones that encourage the bubbles that don't burst.

Also, any trace of W-u-L in a glass will destroy head retention.

I would not worry so much about it at this stage, if it tastes OK, that is fine. 4-6 weeks on there will be further changes and you may be pleasantly surprised.
 
Yeah I've found that the first kit I done was an Indian pale ale and I found after about 3 months it got extremely better and it was a hoppy one to.
