How do get wax out of hair?

Okay so I was trying to sleep in...trying. When I herd a glass fall in my living room, I jumped out of bed to see what happened. My cat knocked over my candle warmer and got wax all over the floor, a rug, my curtains, and my dog! Now thank goodness it didn't get in his eyes, nose, or inside his ears. But it is still on top of his head, so my question is how do I get wax of my dogs head with out hurting him? I can get the wax off everything else no problem but him. I'm gonna try a blow dryer and a rag right now but any other suggestions would help (and I won't shave him).

Update:

I ended up doing the warm/slightly hot water bath and managed to get most of it out. Thank you so much everybody!

    Oh dear, poor doggy..Depends how much wax is on him, but you need to try n soften it, get him into the bath, the hot/warm water shud soften it enough for you to lift it off...Good Luck x

    wash him with hot water. obviously not scalding hot, but hot enough to make the wax more easily removed.

    infant oil will paintings be beneficiant. you could constantly wash it out and run your arms alongside it because it may come away. if it has alraedy dried pour warm water on the hair first to help soften it. reliable success!!!! :)
