In addition to low maintenance styles that don't require manipulation, you could maybe you a bigger comb, combing starting from the ends and slowly working your way up, only combing while wet. For me personally I know that it's not a good idea to comb my dry hair when I have more than an inch of new growth and that I CANT use wide tooth combs unless it's in the shower because they end up causing more breakage. But, the general consensus will be that for stretching relaxers, protective styles are a girl's best friend
