Plants like Spider Plants
If you have a plant with leaves like a spider plant and the ends are brown, can you cut off the ends where it is brown and they will grow back? It has not been watered regularly and now it is going to start having regular watering...I don't want to cut the ends if they are going to stay flat and never grow back to a point. Thank you.

Both of these answers are right, the tips wont grow back to a point but you can cut them to a point when you trim off the brown tips.
But keep the water up to them and they'll soon cover up any dodgy looking tips with new foliage.
Spider plants are able to store a lot of water and energy reserves in their roots. Take a look at the size if your plants roots and you'll see how.
Also to get it looking really lush and healthy, fertilize it with a water soluble fertilizer that is reasonably high in Nitrogen 10% or more will be ok.(Nitrogen encourages leaf growth in plants) look on the back of the packet, nitrogen (probably shown as 'N') should be first on the list.
But remember ,a little often is better than a lot once in a while. You'll get more regular, steady growth
I recomend water soluble because I'm assuming its in a pot. Pot plants can be easily over fertilised with most granular fertilizers. Plus with water soluble fertilizers you feed and water at the same time.
All thoose new little baby spiders you'll soon get will look great left on hanging down(especially if its in a hanging basket). or cut some off when they start forming roots and re-pot them for more free plants.

Hey.
Don't cut the ends flat. You should cut them slanted or make them pointy yourself. That way your plant looks pretty. :)
Spider plants are amazing.

No. The tips of the leaves will not grow back. If you water the plant regularly and fertilize once a month, the Spider Plant will send off satellite plants which can also be planted.
