Questions about an undercut...

Hey all, i'm thinking about getting an undercut but there are some things i've been wondering about:
- I have, i guess, big hair. What i mean is that as my hair grows it becomes puffy and really big at the back and around my sideburn area. I'd like to grow it out but all this hair gets annoying so i always end up shaving everything off. Would an undercut remedy this annoyance (the puffiness) and would i then be able to grow it out?
- Like i said, i used to shave my head regularly for i'd say the past 4 years. Right now my hair's at about 1 inch in length. Is this too short for an undercut? I'm assuming it is, so when would the proper length be to get it done?
- Exactly how is an undercut done?
Thanks.
Heres what I did

My hair is very very big, and when I was growing out from shaved, the sides and back looked longer than the top! What I did was wait for the top to get to about an inch, then i shaved off the sides and back leaving just the top. Yes it looked awkward for awhile, but now after a few months it looks alot more balanced. Also you could wait till the top gets to say 2 inches, then buzz the back and sides to 1/2 to 1 inch letting the longer hair on top hang down. There will be the bowl cut effect for a few months but its better than puffyness.
what should i do

Grow it! I have really thick hair, too. Don't worry. It really does lay down well after a certain point. Mine even lays down so well that for a little while I was afraid I was thinning. lol
Besides, once it gets long, thick hair is better than short hair, by far.

Gah, I meant that thick hair is better than *thin* hair. But it's better than short hair, too. =]
Good luck!
