Lumps and bumps will be a part of your locks for a long, long while; if not always. Tightly felted locks with no stray hairs or inconsistencies are only achieved with time. Palmrolling damp locks (with or without the Tightening Gel) is the best way to keep them in check, and prevent new ones from occurring. If you have a tiny little crochet hook you can try pulling the offending hairs back through from the opposite side.
