this is a classic.... well presented.... and so so true..... good luck bro...
my suggestion would be to attempt to comb and wash all the wax out and then let it be, to grow natural.. or if that does nah work , cu it all of and let it all grow out to start natural again, like mimi did...
either way, you are at the right place.... good luck.
when peeps gave me baditty towards me ole dreads, i would say, " well arent you lucky that they be on my head and not yours!"
my gran was the worse... when eva i saw her it was all oooh aah, that hair, oh i dont like deadlocks... so i would say" "best not you grow them then hey nanna"
generally when peeps get to know you they see atrat past the hair, but family are different, as they allready know you, and they feel threatened by the change... and also they get worried about what their strait friends are goin to think of the family...
like your hair is gonna give the whole family, ceond cousins included a bad rep, and that the minister might kick them out of church or people wont buy stuff from their shop or some such crap... well that was my experience anyway...
i just used to wear a tam when i visited.. funnty thing is, my old boy, father, he became a dread too, and then nanna was just horrified!!! crack up...

I hope these are more informative than the ego wanking that i had to read before, which actually answered nothing the the OP asked.
