I would carefully detangle BEFORE washing your hair. Slather on tons and tons of a cheapie conditioner and gently detangle a small section at a time. Leave the conditioner on for a bit too to let it really get in there and soften the hair up.

You will be fine if you take your time. After you gently wash your hair preferably with a mild poo then do a deep conditioning.
