As a professional hairdresser I regret that my experience has taught me that you may have no choice but to cut your hair. Dreds are dredful. I hope the pun doesn't hurt your feelings, but dreds lock the cuticle layers of the hair together so tightly that even I might not be able to help you. I've removed some nasty stuff, but dreds are the worst thing to get out of your hair.
TRY: using the side of a brush with bristles, not the type with plastic toothpicks with a balls on the ends, start at the bottom of a single dred. Gently and slowly work your way up, a bit at a time. When you get to a place that the brush won't pull through the hair, start at the bottom again. You will be doing this for a long time. You will have to start at the bottom all over again several times to be sure the loosened hair does not re-tangle. Continue doing this until your hair is all brushed out.
Something that may help you is a detangler from Nexus. You purchase it in salons. They will help you pick it out. It was made for normal tangles from shampooing, so don't expect it to do an industrial strength detangle for you. It may just help a bit.
Some people have slathered their hair with petroleum jelly with some success. The bad part of that is, you must finish the detangling in one day (difficult) because after you are done, you have all that goo in your hair you must wash out before you can go to bed.

Okay, try getting straight conditioner and soaking the dread lock in it for a couple of minutes so the conditioner penetrates it.. then using your fingers at the root of your hair run them down to the ends of the dread lock bit by bit, but do not pull at your hair cos it will break..Do this until the dread lock is completely free, then wash your hair with shampoo and extra conditioner...This should work..
Good Luck

You could go to a salon and see if there's anything they can do about it. On tee vee I once saw someone who had like bright red dyed hair and tons of dreads for like the past ten years. They eventually combed out the dreads and then washed her hair to get all the permanent dye out. If you have the money then you can do just about anything.

You couId try to put oil on it... but I would start at the end of the hair instead of the root and try to work your way up. It'd probably be easier to pull apart.
Try and see if you can get a professional to do it if you can't... but you may just have to cut it off. Sorry.

Only way to remove a real dread is to cut it off.

Try pouring vegetable oil on it and have someone slowly pull it apart beginning at the root.

How about some olive or baby oil and slowly comb it out?

I don't know what you mean but if you got bubblegum or something in your hair try using peanut butter or something to get it out
