the technician messed up, OP.
white heads means she pulled it wrong. Threading is the way to go for facial hair. |

| MUST you wax your upper lip? Can't you just use a depilatory at home? Do you have a mustache? Hope it gets better soon. |

| Go get a waxing where they have a high frequency machine. They rub it on the waxed area and it cuts down on the bacteria. I used to get red bumps and breakouts all the time, and this helps a tremendous amount for me. Also, definitely suggest bringing some ice with you to put on right after. |

| am considering threading for next time. this is the second time this is happened - at a different place, different waxer so am wondering if it just is me. Depilatory creates stubble...i used to just bleach but after my second kid it seems to be worse..... |

| another threading advocate. although, i admit, threading hurts. but you get used to it. it's the price of beauty. threading also lasts longer. |

| Try sugaring at home or threading. I use MOOM. |

I use the VEET strips at home. Is that the sugaring PPs talked about? I used to wax but now I just do it myself. It works very well and I never have any problems. I used to also break out after waxing, and a few times I even had bad burns when the waxer made it too hot!
Unfortunately the facial hair gets worse after kids, and as we get older. I just hit the 50 mark and I had to get one of those magnifying mirrors with a light to find all the facial hair that sprouts out of my face!! Yuk!! Good luck! |

No matter how many times I try, I can't get waxed on my face (tried lips and eyebrows)... I get very inflamed red bumps and some little whiteheads, it's terrible looking. It happened when I tried threading, too... which was a disappointment because I had really hoped it would be okay for me. I use a depilatory - no inflammation but I have to do it more often... oh well. |

| I gave it all up a few years ago. Now I use an old electric shaver every morning. Problem solved. |

After years of trying various temporary measures, I got the Tria. It's not supposed to be for facial hair, but I tried it anyway and it solved my problem.
