Actually, if you have curly hair you should never, ever brush it at all. It's not like straight hair and brushes will actually damage/break the strands - a lot of what people think is "frizz" is often just broken strands of hair from brushing. You should only ever comb it with a wide-toothed comb while it's wet.

Once I learned this and stopped brushing my hair (now I only comb it in the shower right after I put the conditioner in), 99% of my "frizz" problem went away. Curly hair and brushes are not friends.

Never brush, always comb

NAYRT--I have messy straight hair that is probably slightly wavy and just pulled straight by its own weight and length, and it is a mess. But if I had to comb it rather than brush it, my hair would be one giant snarl in a couple of days, because even brushing it roughly every morning is difficult for me, not from obvious physical disability but because I dislike putting effort into my appearance, am not very flexible, and have executive dysfunction like whoa.

I hardly ever condition it because no matter what kind I use my hair looks better for two hours or so afterwards and then turns into a flat greasy mess like I haven't washed in weeks. If my hair feels dry, I've found the best thing to do is condition it really well at the scalp, rinse just so it coats the rest of my hair, leave it in for a couple minutes, rinse again until it's all out, and then wash it again with very diluted shampoo. Sometimes when I don't bother with conditioner, I'll put a little vinegar in some water and use that as a rinse after shampooing.

If I could look polished and put together without effort, I would. As it is, I shower and wash my hair every two or three days, wear deodorant, brush my teeth three times a day, make sure my clothes are clean, and that's about it.

I wear makeup and style my hair for cosplay and Halloween.

I don't understand where normal people get the time and energy to put so much effort into a lot of stuff, but especially appearances. Good thing I'm asexual.

Well no, I wouldnt say never brush. Really, it depends on the type of brush and the curl involved. The curl type depends on the amount of torsion in the strand.
Your ends shouldnt be splitting form simple contact with some hairstyling tools, either. Are you not taking care of them periodically? Like with a protein treatment? If your ends are having constant contact with an abrasive surface, and had very little moisture from day to day, I could see them snapping or getting fairy knots easily, but not fraying and dropping instantaneously.
