This is an interesting topic. The only reason I can think of that there would be too much stress on the scalp would have to be the pain of hair being pulled too much from tangled hair. And yes, that's stress, the kind that hurts.
This is why I stated below that hair SHOULD BE COMBED WHEN WET. You should NEVER BRUSH WET HAIR.
Trick is, using a wide toothed comb and start on the ends first,
working your way up the hair shaft towards the scalp as you get tangles freed up.
If you do this method as you should, and you still are having a lot of tangle problems with scalp stress and pain, then your hair is probably damaged.
Any overtangled hair needs attention. The ends will split eventually and if not kept snipped off, that splitting action starts climbing up the hair shaft. The longer you put off getting them snipped off, the higher the damage climbs, therefore, the higher up the snipping must take place.
If anyone out there IS brushing their wet hair, then damage will occur but not to the scalp. More often than not, it causes breakage and damage to the hair strands themselves. And with that breakage comes MORE tangles. And thus the viscous cycle.
