u do use conditioner, right? its not expensive, just a few dollars. it is a must.
anyway, heres my tips:

1. do not grind/rub ur head on your pillow when sleeping.
2. when conditioning your hair in the shower, ur a comb to gently help youget rid of those knots and keep it neat.
3.if u have to blow dry, use low heat and a comb or brush to gently de tangle and not let the blowdryer tangle ur hair up.
4. never brush your hair when it's wet.

Section off the area with the tangle. You can use hair clips if you wish, to do this. With your left hand (right if you are left handed) wrap your hand around the section of hair.

Grasp and hold the section of hair tightly. You should not be 'pulling' on the hair. There should be a bit of 'slack' - leaving the hair from your hand to the scalp 'loose'. Holding this hand / hair in place will prevent 'pulling' of the hair from the scalp when you begin to comb through it.

Starting from about 1 inch from the tips of the hair, gently begin combing / brushing the hair toward the tips.

Once that area is clear of tangles, move up 1/2 inch to 1 inch at a time. With quick, fluid, and even strokes, comb through to the end with each pass.

Repeat if needed.

After you shower with a good shampoo and conditioner that is moisturizing, you should use garnier fructis leave-in conditioner and then brush your ends and work your way up with a wide tooth comb.
