After washing and squeezing out the excess water is a good time to apply oils while the locks are still wet, which helps to keep in moisture and keep them from getting too dry. You can also gently pull apart and separate the locks at the root so they don't grow together. People use all kinds of things to condition their locks such as homemade herbal preparations, a little Vaseline, or commercial hair products. It seems that thicker hair or curly hair can absorb thicker substances that are too gummy for fine hair, but as everyone's hair is different, you have to find what works for you. I take olive oil, rub it between my hands and work it into the locks.
Some people use nothing.
