When you brush her (before the bath) lift up her fur in sections and make sure you are getting all the way to the skin. I'd use a slicker for that and use an undercoat rake or comb after to make sure you got it all.
You may try a really stiff slicker brush (just be careful as it will brush burn easily) or one of those matting tools/rakes with the razor edges (be careful with that too, I've sliced my hands with those :o ) They make detangling sprays just for pets too that do help some.
There's some good advice here, good luck getting them out...cutting them apart first will definitely help. :)
That is exactly what happened. All that undercoat was ready to shed too. It took lots and lots of patience and brushing. I wound up with a huge pile of fur when I was done.
