Welcome. Wax will only prevent locking, though. I know where is a lot of info out there telling you that wax is needed. But no hair type needs wax. And every hair type is destroyed by it. At best it will just stop progress. But wax is a hydrocarbon and traps water in your hair. When water festers, it causes organic matter to rot. That is what happens in swamps. And if you keep the wax in your hair, it is what is going to happen in your hair.
Check out the dreaducation page on how to remove the wax. It is a difficult process, but for the health of your scalp and hair it needs to be done.
Welcome just want to say that hair doesn't tend to dread at only three inches. I think six or so inches is when it gets long enough to dread on its own. Also, I don't know if you still use wax or not, but that thing can stay in your hair for years even when you don't realise it, and it can really slow down the progress, so I'd advise you to stop using it and try to get it out (if not already). Your hair may look like they're dreading, but on the inside they often stay undreaded because of all of the wax that remains. If you go the natural route and let them do their own thing, it feels like they're not dreading as fast, but they are dreading properly, whereas wax doesn't let them dread properly. Here's a link with information about it, it probably explains the problems with it better: http://www.dreadlockssite.com/forum/topics/dread-wax-why-ya-dont-want-it
