Don't do anything... you haven't been doing nothing by putting elastics on them. Elastics can be problematic, your hair might swallow them up or they could leave weak spots in your dreads as they grow out. The best maintenance is time, so allow it to happen.
eventualy they will recover and behave like normal dreads just takes a long time

However my roots are beginning to dread up and the root end of the dread and it's kind of a wavy patch and I'm digging it. Of you don't do anything they become nice.I wish I had never crochet!!
The best thing to do is not worry about them.
As long as your hair continues to go through its normal hair growth/shedding cycle you will always have some loose hair.
