I myself were stupid enought to wax my locks... but the second i did it i regretted the decision, and wanted to remove the shit from my locks.This thread is for dreadheads who made the bad decision of waxing their dreads, and contains tips for how to properly remove it.Personally, i grabbed a bottle of green soap, the same soap you use for washing floors and sutch, and used it as shampoo. Worked really well, I used it every time i washed my hair until the bottle was empty, and it managed to get all the wax away so my dreads looked good again. The best part of it was that the thing were resiude free, and dryed the hair so it locked up good and thight. And to top it, it smelled like pine needle!:D
