I don't think that anyone really needs to brush the length of their hair. Especially anyone with curls. A wide toothed comb does the job of taking tangles out. There are less damaging ways (scalp massages with the fingertips) to get stimulation.
However, brushing can help you to achieve certain styles. I use a brush just to get those little baby hairs around the hairline to lay down. I can see someone brushing their hair into an updo to get a smooth result. Or for men to get their waves.
I personally use a regular goody brush to keep my baby hairs in check. For an updo I use a softer boar bristle brush.
For me, the paddle brush that I use occassionally to stimulate my scalp has caused no damage. The bristles are wide, smooth and coated so as not rip or tear at the hair. I also do the fingertip massages as well, but alternate frequently.
