Supposedly, when your hair is wet it is at it's weakest. Using a brush damages your hair because all of the bristles are too harsh. A comb or pick has "fingers" that gently seperates your hair strands instead of pulling on them like a brush does.

Because a brush doesn't get tangles out, it goes over the tangles.
When you comb your hair you should start at the bottom and work your way up. take a section of hair at a time that way you are not ripping through the hair. A clip works well for sectioning and keeping the combed hair seperate from the uncombed.
Do a little test, try combing your wet hair as instructed about and than next time brush the wet hair and you'll see for yourself why you should comb over brushing.
Also you should always use a leave-in-conditioner when combing. It will make a HUGE differents. OH, and that is a comb such as a small toothed comb, not a wide toothed comb or a pick.

When your hair is wet, it tangles. The brush has more bristles than a comb. The more bristles, the more your hair gets caught which causes you to pull harder, which causes breakage. Always start from the bottom while combing and work your way up to avoid pulling the hair.

You are much more likely to break your hair off. A comb goes through easier.

it could break your hair, and cause split ends.
try using just a simple comb. it still brushes the same, and it's better for your hair!

hair that is wet is a lot weaker then when it is dry. find a comb that has widely spaced teeth or buy a pick ( like and afro pick). those work the best on wet hair.

Because your hair is the weakest when it is wet and you can get split ends easier and faster if you brush it wet. That's what "they say" but honestly, I bet no one actually listens, lol.

Because it can break your hair easier. If you use a plastic-toothed brush though (that's what I use) and you don't rake it too hard through your hair, you should be fine.
