This sounds really silly but vinegar and dawn dish soap you'll need to rewash with normal shampoo and conditioner but that should get it out.

Try deep conditioning, and then a super clarifying shampoo, and then conditioning again. I'm sorry if that's not the best advice but I've never heard of anyone doing that before. My thought is that the deep conditioner will help break down the beeswax, so I'd leave it on for kind of a while. Does that make sense?

Try heating up some olive oil and keeping it on for a little bit. Then wash it out. If you can't get it out with that maybe try going to a hair stylist and ask them to get it out before you cut it.

Maybe try really hot water and dawn dish soap then blowdry it and wash again with hot water. It might melt the wax out.

I've read olive oil will help, not a problem I'm familiar with though.

Try something with silicone it will break down the beeswax. Let it sit try and work it through then you'll have to comb it out with it still in when you get most of it out you'll have to get a clarifying shampoo. A shampoo for coarse hair isn't going to work all it's going to do is have like a frizz tamer. A clarifier will actually wash it out of the cuticle. Then you'll need to condition it after all the stress that's been put on it. I'm a cosmetologist silicone will get out latex and beeswax
