First, how did you wash it off? Wax is a hydrocarbon, it can't be washed out in normal soap and water, let alone in 1 wash. 1 session with wax can take a month of wax removal session 2-3 times a week to get it out. Since your hair is so short, it wouldn't take a full month. But still not just 1 wash. As for how to maintain it from here, don't. Use a non residue shampoo 2-3 times a week and let them be. As your hair get longer it'll need to be separated more often, but for now, you shouldn't need too much separating. NEVER retwist your locks. That will only cause a condition called traction alopecia which leads directly to baldness. You NEVER want to see your scalp showing in between each section
