davisbr88, to minimize the detangling process, I wash my hair in sections (4 twists). As far as what I wash with, I like to use WEN or Hair One. If I need to clarify, I'll use KK Come Clean, or Trader Joe's Tea Tree shampoo.
However, for the above WnG, I prepoo'd with the Greek yogurt concoction:

When I hopped in the shower, I worked on one section at a time. First, I thoroughly rinsed the yogurt out. Then, I applied the Hair One and immediately rinsed it out. Next, I applied a little aloe vera juice and retwisted the section under running water. I repeated the same for the other three sections.
Once I got out of the shower, I applied Kimmaytube's Leave-in Conditioner recipe:
2 Tbsp Kinky Kurly Knot Today
2 Tbsp Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice
2 Tsp Jojoba oil
2 Tsp Castor oil
And that's pretty much it.
