My daughter is mixed and has very thick hair with tight curls. I have tried many products and nothing seems to make it easier for her to brush and style it. It's always dry and brittle and even though she sleeps with it in a ponytail...she wakes up in the morning in tears because it looks awful and matted. Any suggestions on what we can do???

Have it cut into a short layered look. Say about 1-1/2 inches long.
My niece had the same type of hair and my sister kept it short till she got older. And it really looked cute.

Start buying products just for her in the ethnic haircare isle. You can start with a curl activator and spray moisturizer. It will make her natural curls manageable. I highly recommend Pantene Relaxed and Natural Shampoo and Conditioner to help maintain keep her hair soft and supple. I also recommend you ditch the brush. Hair like ours will only break with regular brushing. It isn't necessary. I wide tooth comb will do.
Good luck!

For dry hair pls try these hot oil massages....they will help in maintaing the natural sheen of your hair and will also condition your hair:
Hot oil massages: Warm 2 tsp. of olive oil and 2 tsp. coconut oil and gently massage every part of the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse a towel in hot water, wipe and wind the hair around the head as it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times to issue total saturation. After that, shampoo and rinse well. It is good for brittle dry hair.
Hot Caster oil massage: Warm ½ cup of castor oil, massage into scalp and gently comb it. Bind the hair with hot towel on the head, wait for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. As it is home made is so good to use for scanty hair.
Clove oil honey massage. Stir well ½ cup of green olive oil with 1 cup of liquid honey. Shake vigorously. Keep the mixture to settle for a day or two. Massage into the scalp and comb it not touching the scalp. After massaging cover hair with plastic shower cap. Make it air tight to let the heat penetrate, leave like that for 20 to 30 minutes. Then shampoo and rinse well. It is good for dark hair to keep it shining and lustrous.
Take care

Give her a short haircut - it's a lot easyer to manage and it's better for her hair anyway, one day she'll be grateful.
