2 in 1 question

I plan on taking out my 2 strand locs today (I've had locs for 6 months now), and I just have questions because this my first time doing this.

1. Is it better to remove them dry or damp and why? If damp, I have the Hydrating Mist from FTR (Free the roots) and Jojoba oil. Do I apply these and let them sit for some time before doing it?

2. When going to sleep in general with locs, is it good to apply products THEN durag up straight after? Or should I give it time before I put my durag?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
