Okay here is an update!
We started out by doing the boiling water technique, we did a couple, it kind of worked not to badly, but my mom burnt me a couple times so I put a stop to it, haha.. So I took some dish soap into the shower, and washed my hair thoroughly about 3 times, and it feels sooooo much better already! I tried pulling a bit of the black lint the wax left in my dreads but it pulled out a bunch of my hair and I didnt want to mess with them anymore for fear the might fall apart and be even thinner! But washing with dishsoap has helped a looottttt, and it feels so much healthier and nicer already! I'm definitely not doing to touch wax ever again and stop messing with my hair haha.
We also tried the hot iron after my hair dried but it really didnt make that much of a difference, I think I'll just continue with the dishsoap for a bit. Orrrr I might just use my regular shampoo in like a week or something hahaha, I just pulled off a piece of dread off the end of one! Oh god! That one was seeming like it was going to come off for a while though, I think the wax was just holding it on, its the one I over backcombed..
Ill post a couple pics of my hair after the shower with dishsoap, should I just keep using it everytime I shower and eventually it might get out the wax a bit or..?
So anyways what should I do next!? Hopefully nothing... hahaha..
here's a few pics:

Yeah they have deff gotten a LOT better. They'll look even better with time, Glad you came here right on time or you'd be bald xD
Thanks everyone! Sooooo much better without all the wax... They are light and soft, instead of sticky gross candles stuck to my head, lol.Yeah, they are pretty brittle and fragile, though! If anyone has any tips, let me know! :D
exactly what i was thinking. take it easy on the bleach for a while too, i'd say..... Knottysleeves said:
Wow, looks like your first wax removal session made a HUGE difference already! Very nice!
Do handle them gently though, I'm worried your hair may be fragile from all that bleaching.
