HairBoutique.com sells and advocates the use of the KnottyBoy products, to discuss your current waxy problem with one of it's representatives, namely Adrianna.
Adrianna reminded me that "people who are only interested in temporary dreadlock styles should not be using Knotty Boy Dread Wax." As Adrianna explained, Knotty Boy "is a beeswax-based product which is very water repellent. It makes it good for dreadlock wearers because it allows the wearers to still wash their scalps without undoing the new locks. It is bad for people only wishing to experiment or have the dreadlock look for one night or a few days.".
Although Adrianna said that it is possible the KnottyBoy wax will only come out with a cut, she did say that you can try to wash the KnottyBoy wax out of your hair by using very hot water. Please be careful not to burn yourself, but use as hot of water as you can handle and try to soften the wax as much as possible. Adrianna then recommended that after you use hot water to soften the wax that you use Bee & Flower Chinese bar soap you can get in Chinatowns everywhere on your hair. The soap can help, in many cases, to wash the rest of the wax out. If you can't find the Chinese Bee & Flower soap then use a good bar soap.
Although simple vegetable oil will probably be the best bet -
for the aftermath of greasy hair...I would suggested an alkalyzing ingredient as vinegar, but bottled lemon juice would work too, and not smell so yucky.

very hot water will work. all it will do is melt the wax so it can come off. soap really wont' work to well because of the oils in the wax. heat is the best idea!

dishwashing soap will take it out,it removes grease from dishes and works great on hair too.
