I never brush or comb my hair while it is wet. Breakage can occur when your hair is most vulnerable to abuse. I always gently pat my hair while it is between the towel and let it air dry.
The time to use a wide tooth comb to brush your hair is before you shower. The bristles on your brush will gentle scratch your scalp and spread the oils down your hair shafts.
This is how I detangle my hair.
