Detangle clues please

After shampooing, I squeeze out the excess water and then start to detangle. With my fingers near the scalp I I divide my hair into about 8 sections. I don't worry about detangling at this point, I just want to divide my hair into smaller sections so its easier to work with. If I encounter a large tangle, I just put it all together in its own section.I then add a little bit of conditioner to one section, concentrating on the ends. I don't use any special detangling stuff, just whatever conditioner I normally use and wash out. I use Pantene Pro-V,I "finger comb" the section, always starting at then ends and slowly work my way up to the top. Once I have gotten to my scalp, I use a large pick, to further detangle. Once agian, I start at the bottom and work my way up. I find a pick works better than a wide tooth comb. I use one of the large plastic ones, that I believe were originally meant for afros, not the small metal picks sometimes used for fluffing hair.I repeat this for each section. My hair reaches my lower back, and I use about a dime size amount of conditioner per section, more if its heavily tangled. Once I have finished each section I then use a wide tooth comb, to bring all the sections together and then style in whatever matter I want.If the hair is extremely tangled, even in tight knots, I find it important to work on when its dry only. This happens when I do something carelesss like ride in a convertible without a hat or going to the gym without braiding my hair first. I add some baby oil, oilve oil, or special detangling product to the mat. And contary to what every one advocates, I use a small tooth comb at this instance. But always work from the bottom up.

I am clueless about the detanlging process. I still get a comb full of breakage every time? Is it easier to do it in the shower under the running water. This seems to be the only time that it works for me - sometimes.Also, has anyone ever tried Parnevue hair conditioner (a leave in creme)?
