I put extra conditioner on the chest and legs and try to let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. The boys are not immersed in water during their baths. I massage their shoulders to keep them occupied.
After the bath and blow dry, I make sure to comb all of the hair to eliminate every tiny little tangle. I work down to using the very fine teeth of the comb. If any small tangles are left, they will lead to large tangles.
I've tried trimming/shaving armpits a little, but I found this made things worse on my boys. We check arm/leg areas daily to make sure little tangles are not forming.
