As for the hair relaxer/healthiness: I say make sure you keep it conditioned really well. Be gentle. I wear mine up w/out combing it the last few day or week before I relax b/c it is hard to comb.

I wear my hair in cornrows weeks 8-12 to keep from manipulating too much, and I shampoo/condi/hotoil once a week during that period. So I only handle it once a week for the last month.
Be super gentle with your detangling.

For me conditioning and moisturizing are key to keeping my hair as I extend my relaxers. I currently I am bouncing between twist-outs, braid outs and buns (14 weeks post relaxer)

Keeping my hair moisturized helps me extend my relaxer I went 15 weeks for the first time.
I use Sta So Fro for moisture and Surge keeps my hair from shedding and co washes.
