I love all animals, but I never really saw the appeal in keeping donkeys until I moved my mare to our barn, which is also home to a miniature donkey. He is the cutest, sweetest little guy. His itty bitty brays melt my heart and I frequently stop what I'm doing just to snuggle the burrito.
Your burritos are adorable! I use these for shedding and swear by them.
One owner of a white golden to another - invest in a bottle of this stuff. After a bath and/or once weekly, spray him down with it. Do it outside since it WILL make your hard flooring extremely slippery (there are literally warnings on to bottle to not spray it where your saddle/girth goes on the horse). If he likes to lay on hard flooring, I'd wait until he's dry to spray him down with it since as he dries it will just get on the floor and still make it slippery.
Next time he goes "mudding" a quick rinse will get 90% off without even needing shampoo. It also will keep his fluff from getting tangled, dry dirt shakes right out, and also makes getting cockleburs and similar stuff out of their coat a piece of cake.
Edit to add: Proof here. Just sprayed him down when we got home - no soap, and took no more than 5 minutes.
I am American, but I think this is available in the UK.
We use cowboy magic, it’s is a product for horses. It’s a detangler and it truly is magic. A tiny amount really goes a long way too.
I have a long haired Rottweiler that gets super messy, loves to run around in tall weeds, get his chew treats all over his legs and neck, and generally just find messy things to get stuck in his hair.
I will brush him a few times a week and afterwards I’ll put like a nickel sized amount in my hand and run my hands through his problem areas, legs, neck, butt, and tail.
I’m able to the just brush most things off of him with just my hand, and things that would have gotten matted or stuck will just pull out. It also makes him shine really nicely, and I think it smells wonderful.
cowboy magic is a leave in conditioner that has worked wonders for mine. Best to put it on when he’s fresh out of the bath and still wet, otherwise it just gets on the top coat
POC here. Different than other answers, but Nizoral or Sulfur 8 shampoo to wash your face and leave on for 5 min before rinsing. And, NuStock ointment at night or as a 20 min mask a couple days a week really seemed to help. It is gritty and stinky but smoothed out my rough areas helped the flare-ups. The tube is huge and will last 2 lifetimes. A little goes a long way

That's a hot spot. I've had good results using sulfur products with my dogs for minor wounds and hot spots (found this at local feed store).

It'll sound slightly crazy, but I've had friends remove dreadlocks before with this stuff - https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000A6XGQO/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_5W1DZ72CRT345T4N57AS
I've only used it on horses personally, but I've combed out a lot of burs and extremely tangled manes/tails with it. It does make the hair extremely slippery, and probably isn't curly girl method approved, but it might work well for a one time detangle if it can get dreadlocks out.
Behind the ears is often the most troublesome spot. I’ve found that a couple of detangling products used regularly during brushing makes a huge difference.
I use a horse grooming block. Sounds weird using a horse item on a chihuahua but they are so good at getting rid of loose dog hair and it is a lot gentler than the furminator https://www.amazon.com/Farnam-Slick-Horse-Grooming-Block/dp/B000A6VLXO
I would post on /r/findareddit, asking for a hair advice reddit.
Be as descriptive as you can of her hair texture - In the world of hair care, there can be pretty distinct differences in techniques and products depending on texture.
My only experience is with horses - I've successfully detangled manes and tails many times. The product I've used is Cowboy Magic Detangler & Shine. It's an oil type "finishing" product, smells nice, works really well, and a good quality product that overall helps hair. If you search Amazon for "hair oil", you'll see lots of similar products for people.
As for technique, the one thing that's really helped me is just leaving it in overnight. Of course, with horses, you don't have sheets and blankets and pillows and mattresses to consider! So maybe with your mil, apply in the morning, planning to do detangling in the evening. Anyway, main point is, when I would saturate, and then immediately go to work with a brush, I wouldn't get very far. But when I would saturate, then come back the next day with a brush, I could get tangles out pretty easily.
Anyway, hope that helps, good luck!
Edit -
I'm going to second /u/justmerc 's suggestion - My son had long hair when he was a kid, and I would do that very thing, just slather on the conditioner in the bath, comb it easily, then rinse thoroughly.
Get some Goodwinol shampoo (this is mild and can be used to control itching) or Mane n' Tail Shampoo (originally for horses works great of AB/APBT) and give her a bath.
Chemicals can irritate dog skin so stop "flea treatments" and for the love of dogs dont use cheap store shampoo like Hartz.
Edit: See the vet
I sometimes use water in a spray bottle, but not always. Doing it dry probably increase the hair breakage some, but I don't have show dogs and they don't seem to care one way or the other. ;)
My Sheltie has hair like a Keeshond, and I do most of his grooming with the poodle. It's great for deshedding!
My Briard has hair that's... more like a poodle's? I line brush Cowboy Magic into his hair and it is a godsend. It's not a spray, though.
My daughter's hair is long (her goal is down to her booty) and fine, and comes out of braids all the time. To be honest, I usually let her rock the frayed-braid look for a day.
Multiple braids helps. I've found that twin French braids is fairly good for hold. It's what I use when we are headed to the pool. One day she was wearing six braids, three on each side of her head (nor French though, in not that good!). She asked for really wavy hair so I did it while wet and then she liked having them in, and I didn't take them out for two days. Yeah it looked a little silly, but she loved it, and that's what's important.
My miracle was finding Cowboy Magic. Cowboy Magic Detangler & Shine 4 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A6XGY6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DPRAzbR77P7AG This stuff is amazing. You can use it on wet or dry hair. A little bit goes a long way. I rub it on my palms, then work it through kiddo's hair. It makes brushing sooo easy. And kiddo loves the scent, too. I found it in a pet / tack store for cheaper than what it's listed on Amazon for. I'm still on my first bottle and I dare say it's been almost a year.
Something like this. Basically the same as the Griot's foamer and other types that don't adjust like the Gilmour.
