I don’t know if you should, but I heard if they become yellow yellow leaves cut off because they won’t grow back I don’t know about brown

i only cut leaves off if they’re no longer serving the plant— any that are totally yellow or brown. you can remove just the brown crispy parts, being careful not to injure the green. any firm, green tissue is healthy and will continue to photosynthesize and produce sugars (energy) for the plant as long as you leave it attached

Agreed with both above  
Tips brown is under watering I believe.

yes, it can be under-watering if coupled with curled leaves, or particularly dry air
