The best detangler for matted hair is a combination of conditioner, oil, and water.

Conditioner

Conditioners are meant specifically to add more slip to your hair. Conditioners can provide enough lubrication to the hair to soften up any tangles, making it much easier to brush through them.

Oil

Using oils like coconut, olive and, almond will help lubricate those hair strands further, reducing the amount they cling to each other. Providing a bit more protection for strands, coconut oil contains components that easily penetrate tangled hair.
