Keep a wide-tooth comb in the shower to evenly distribute conditioner and detangle hair at the same time.
Squeeze or wring out extra moisture starting at the top of the head and working toward the tips. Working with hair in the direction that it grows ensures less roughing up and tangling.
Wide-tooth combs, paddle brushes and vent brushes work best for combing out long hair and freeing tangles. Begin combing through the ends first, then work on brushing from scalp to tips. This way you are not matting tangled hair down into the tips, which can cause damage.
To help in the fight against tangles, consider using a leave-in conditioner:
