    read the wax removal threasd
    but wax removals not easy
    it can take alotta effort multiple attempts
    and..extreme care not to burn yiourself
    wax melts at 140 f
    (think 65-69 c)
    melting disolving or emulsifying are your options, so excess dangerouse heat, tons and tonsd of soap or, disiolving agents like irange oil
    but one will only do so much each time, ya will have to repeat it till your semyi sure u got as much as u cabn
    wax shoulda never gone in to beginwith..yell at your freind if u want..or at least tell him it was a big mistake.

    if a lilrem,aindss it probly wont be a disaster, and even if u get the worse problems associated with wax, they are really showrt now, and it wont show up for awhile so you could always chop off the waxy ends down the road (if yu wexperience serius wax issues like mold)

    djmillz,
    I personally think your hair looks great. If you used wax, it certainly doesn't look caked on there and I really don't think you need to worry about wax removal. You don't need to use wax and after a good wash the wax should come out no problem. If you do decide to use wax, which again IMHO (and I have experience on this issue) is not a big deal, just do so very sparingly. A little bit goes a long way, and a lot can give you trouble. Just proceed with caution and good luck!

    what he didnt say was alittle goes a long way andstays for ages
    he claimes it washes out easily but disections years later prove otherwise
    he cant possibly say its all gone wothout tearing it open and looking inside
    see pmeisters thread where he had cut off tye waxy ends rippen en open and found a ton of wax years after stopping its use
