You can wash with Baking Soda first. 5 cups water to every 1/2 cup BS let it sit for about 15 to 30 mins and I use a 13oz bottle 1oz ACV with 12oz water with about 5 to 10 drops of coco butter oil I let the ACV sit for about 5 to 15 mins it really depents on how dry my scalp is though.

Welcome, take out the rubber bands at the end of your braids. Let them unravel by them self and go from there. I have a friend that did the same thing back in High School. She still has the same set as well. Happy Dreading.
