Threading: oh no, problem

I recently had my eyebrows & upper lip (it's embarassing to say, but whatever) re-threaded and have run into problems. The actual hair removal went well and I'm nicely shaped.

But I have BUMPS! They kind of look like pimples, but not really?? IDK. There are some over my eyebrow area and some at the corners of my upper lip. It's terrible. I'd rather have some blonde hairs than pimples.

I don't know if I made a mistake before/after threading....
anyone know what i need to do?

I'm def. not posting a photograph of this one....consider yourselves spared!

Threading

I have pretty light eyebrows and for the last couple of years have made a point of not really plucking (except for in the middle). I was pretty scarred from all the years of overplucking that I wanted to let my eyebrows grow and get back to a more natural state. And I sneeze a lot when I pluck. It's annoying to pluck, blow nose, pluck, blow nose...



But, while taking the bumpit pics I was APPALLED at my crazy wonky eyebrows. They looked outta control. So I took action. I got them threaded. Do you know about threading? http://www.batoolsalon.net/index.html




It's basically someone with twirled up string that runs it over your hair. As it twirls, it pulls out hair. It felt a lot like plucking, so yes, I was a little sneezy and it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world. But it's over much much faster.

Here's a before and after:

That's a pretty good improvement. I don't know what the deal is with that one pocket of hair that insists on growing straight up, but the threading made it a lot less noticable. She didn't take too much off, just cleaned me up.

So, I can thank the bumpits for giving me fab lazy-day hair and encouraging me to wrangle in those brows.
