Detangling
I really like the spray leave-in conditioner from Herbal Essences. It is important to wait until your hair is DRY, then spray in the detangler, and work from the ends up. I find if I try to tackle knots when my hair is wet, it gets knotted worse and breaks.
I also try to tackle knots BEFORE I wash it, because if you get the knots wet, it makes them worse. Sometimes I'll just work a handful of regular conditioner in before I wash it and work on the tangles (like, if I've been out in the wind with my hair down.) The added benefit is this works like a deep conditioner and your hair is really soft once you do wash it!
I also use the spray-conditioner as a setting lotion. Apply to slightly damp or dry hair, put in your rollers or (I do little braids for a mermaid look) let it dry, and the waves/curls last all day, no crunchy product necessary!
