A detergent is something that breaks apart hydrogen bonds in oils, fats, and waxes. SLS is a detergent, and is in many normal shampoos, laundry detergents, and some hand soaps, but is toxic to your health in everyday use.
There are a few healthy detergents, one of which is, I believe, derived from coconut.
Dreadlockshampoo.com offers a great wax remover that uses that detergent (It may also be called a serficant). Dawn Dish Soap is also great for removing wax. Both the soap and the wax remover are used differently. The wax remover can beappliedbefore washing your hair. Work it into your locks and then wash it out.
The Dish soap is used by filling a pot or large bowl with the hottest water you can stand to leave your hands in for a long period of time. Squirt a generous amount of soap into the water. Then, one by one, dip your locks into the water and works the soap into them. Do each lock for about a minute. Then wash your hair like normal.
Because it's been so long, and the wax is probably deep in your locks, and hair has grown around it, you may need to do either method a few times. With the soap, do it 2-3 times a week for about a month. That way you can be pretty sure it's all gone. I'm not sure how often you'd need to use the wax remover. But you can email them and ask for help with your situation
